Yes, these are the "obsolete" entries. When the po file is converted into the 
binary message catalog (.gmo file), these are simply ignored. If they are 
used at all in the future, then only through you, the translator. In other 
words, you can simply delete them unless you think you might need them some 
time in the future. Which is usually not the case except for some very simply 
and straightforward examples.
