In practice, its always good to keep the pot files in repo just for reference and backup even you can download from Zanata.
But it doesnt need to be in the master branch. Could be in string freeze branch.

Looking at the daily imports we do for our translations, a lot of that
is importing pot files (translation source).

Do we really need these for anything in the git trees?

We've stopped importing those pot files which are not translated at all
but import pot files that have translations and update them daily (only
if there are real translations as well).

I really wonder whether we need these pot files in our git repositories
at all,
