We once discussed about .po files for kconfig and back then
the conclusion was not to keep them in the kernel tree.

I advocated that they should stay out back then.
But on the other hand I do not see it causing much troubles
having scripts/kconfig/po/da.po etc araound.

Any opinion about the .po files?
