Digging a bit more in the history of **/nb.po, there seems to be a
policy that files that are less than 80% translated are removed¹, and I
guess this file was just below the threshold on the 12-15 branches, but
just above the threshold on master and 16+. The Norwegian translation
seems unmaintained², so I vote³ for removing it completely.
