    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>While I am  not a CRS/proj wiz kid, a deprecated CRS  is
      outdated.  Changes can be in the parameters or simple things like
      the name. Deprecated does not mean it's not good but likely not
      currently used by the state because of changes to the parameter.
      To my knowledge  <br>
    </p>
    <p>102747 in proj.4 is</p>
