No, but in general case it will have no impact on them. We did this in
libvirt a while back & have seen no complaints either.

We outsourced translation to Zanata, and the people doing translations
in Zanata see zero changes in content presented to them, as zanata
unpacks .po files into its own DB & reconciles with the .pot. So all
the metadata we discard from the .po files was never used by Zanata
in the first place, as it gets it all from the pot.

In the unlikely event anyone was using the .po files in git, the
metadata they were relying on was always outdated & thus misleading
and/or useless. They would have to re-generate the .po file to get
accurate source locations.

With the new system we discarded all the inaccurate metadata, and
people can fully up2date metadata by running 'make update-po'.

IOW, this is better for any one using .po files directly, as the
info they see is now actually accurate.

Regards,
Daniel
