Hi!
We need to clean up old MediaWiki messages translations on be-x-old Wikipedia. deleteDefaultMessages.php looks as perfect candidate for this job. However last changes from MediaWiki_default were made in 2007.
Is this code still functional? If so, I think will be good idea to run it on all WMF wikis, especially those which had long history of translation of MediaWiki messages (before translatewiki.net).
Eugene.
This would break soo much, a lot of wikis have purposefully changed the default messages for tracking purposes and other reasons. deleting these messages would cause a lot of problems

I'm not sure you get it. deleteDefaultMessages.php only deletes messages which have not been customised.
