Ok, as I once was in the same position (pointing out a problem while
translating) I understand. Maybe you could add a "supersedes" switch,
i.e. if that happens, you add a paragraph stating that the new version
supersedes the older one, but this is not really urgent.

I would opt for this change in the next translation round. You can
update the german translation yourself by removing the fuzzy entry
then, as the translation is not changed (the german word for nobody is
not in trouble being mistake with a user of the same name).
