Yes, we can run my deleteEqualMessages.php again, for all wikis.
It does require byte equivalence. And in my experience that means it almost
never does what you want. People will copy it slightly differently due to
spacing or with less generic syntax (eg Wikipedia: vs Project), or someone
will edit it since then on TWN.

The "expect that it will be overwritten" part isn't how it works. The
local
copy will remain in effect until someone deletes
it.
Wouldn't "delete all local overrides" (or "all local overrides added
since
2018-09-27") be a reasonable step to include in migration after the "new
translatewiki" is turned back on?
