I think there's some value in continuing to have one:

- in the (of course unlikely) event that the Pootle server completely
fails and cannot be restored, such a repository would serve as a
backup of last resort.  Likewise for the (even more unlikely) event
that somebody does major vandalism on a translation, as Pootle itself
does not have version control.
- the repository would enable reproducing a package or tarball, which
in turn would be useful for tracking down the occasional bug that
stems from an issue with one of the PO files.

Regards,

Galen
