I agree we should have a policy about this, but alternatively we can
just remove a message from all translations when it has changed.  It's
not too difficult with sed.  The other alternative may be slightly
less work but probably we'll start collecting cruft in the help files
this way when the old messages never get removed.  So what's better?
