The old versions should stay then.

Don't know for others, but it seams to me that there's a lot to correct 
even when translation of particular version is done. It's easier to me 
to suggest better translation if I'm looking at live translated user 
interface then some string in Pootle :)

We sometimes change all occurrences of one string for particular 
_context_ if we see it's not fitting right when we actually using 
translated user interface. Not often, but sometimes. On the other hand, 
we often change only one occurrence of a string if it's not fitting 
right to a context.

So old translations tend to get outdated rather quickly. It's not that 
all is outdated, but we make corrections which are really making 
difference (I believe so).

If beneficial for you, older version should stay and my suggestion 
should be ignored. There is no problem at all and didn't wanted to 
present it as one, seamed like a practical suggestion to me.
