I understand your concern, but it's always difficult to state when a
module is really obsolete.
glade still got a release last December, galeon published 2.0.5 in
February, ...

I suspect teams who already translated most of the Desktop should know
GNOME enough to estimate if it's worth to translate other releases
modules.
Currently we follow SVN policy, and when a module is moved to SVN
Archive (http://svn-archive.gnome.org) it is removed from
l10n.gnome.org.
