Comment:

 I am -1 on removing valuable information for translators.

 It's true that the current situation is not ideal because there are
 identical strings, so in the end it's 1 string in GlotPress with a
 sharedtranslator comment, which is confusing.

 However, the better solution here is to add ''context'' to the string to
 distinguish them. So we should add more information for translators, not
 remove information.
