django-admin makemessages --no-obsolete doesn't seem to be working

[Kishor Pawar]

First of all, I am expecting `--no-obsolete` would comment out `msgid` and `msgstr` if `gettext` is deleted, right?

How I am testing is:

1. I wrote `gettext("some string here")` in view
2. I ran `makemessages` command
3. It wrote a `.po` file as expected
4. Then I deleted `gettext()` line from view and saved file, verified `runserver` working.
5. I ran `makemessages --no-obsolete` and it has not made any changes to `.po` file.

`.po` file content extract .

#. Translators: This message is a test of wrap line
#: servers/views.py:31
msgid "Do let me know if it works."
msgstr ""

All my emails never are responded, i'm thinking they not going to discussion list. Someone can reply anything just to let me know.

AFAIK there is no  (and there wasn't ever) a `--no-obsolete` modifier to the makemessages command.

Did you read about that somewhere? Can you post a link?
