Rename or remove does not work, the template xml_mimetypes.pot will be 
recreated on Scripty's next run via function po_for_file in XmlMessages.sh

xml_mimetypes.po[t] is an intermediate file only used by Scripty and the 
translators. So far we have two files xml_mimetypes.po in the trunk translation 
branch, which tracks frameworks + kde4 master. But this duplication for 
translators will disappear soon, the third translation branch for frameworks 
in trunk/l10n-kf5 is nearly ready to get started.

kde.xml (kdelibs) + kde5.xml (frameworks/kcoreaddons) are the files used at 
build time to update xdg mimetypes translations. But this does not work so 
far, the mimetype translations from lang/xml_mimetypes.po are not added into 
kde[5].xml.

There is already a distinction (kde.xml + kde5.xml), therefore nothing has to 
be changed from my pov.

Thanks.
