r78013 removes key 'december' from MessagesDe_at.php, but on de.wp the message [[de:MediaWiki:December/de-at]] is not updated to the fallback. The sync has work for other messages like [[de:MediaWiki:Htmlform-submit]] (r78138) It is possible to update the message to the fallback, when it is removed from Message.php? Thanks
For information: With r79023 the key was readded to MessagesDe_at.php.
You have to unset a message key, when the key is in the $compare_messages (because it is in the default Message*.php or the cache from previous updates), but not in $base_messages (because the key was removed from svn). With an unset of the message key the fallback of MediaWiki should work.

this is actually a feature, not a bug. It is to prevent a message that's deleted in a newer version of MediaWiki to also be removed in older version that still use that message!

There's a difference though between the message being deleted from trunk completely and only being deleted from one language (in the latter case, that's meant to trigger the fallback). So if a message is removed from the language we're processing but still present in English, I think we should remove it from LU too, and keep it otherwise. Sound about right?
That sounds like the right solution
Needs testing, if still a issue. Some changes to LocalisationUpdate was made in past month/year.
