We could, but that's not what's reminding you.  check-po runs 'intltool-update -m' which tests for files in the tree that aren't in one of POTFILES.in, POTFILES.skip, or POTFILES.ignore. It's what puts up the "POTFILES.ignore is deprecated" warning as well.

The POTFILES.in regeneration recreates a new POTFILES.in with every run of CMake and silently includes any file that's not already in POTFILES.skip or POTFILES.ignore, defeating the test.
