Checking our git history shows that the pl.po files in the master
branch haven't been touched since 2017.  I suppose that we don't
remove stale translations from the development sources because a
poor translation is still better than none for testing purposes.
But our standards for released versions are higher, and the
Polish translation isn't up to that right now :-(.  Note the
policy stated on the page I linked to:
