I have collected the comments here:

No, EPSG codes do not represent all. Especially since we still need to
update the CSV files included in lib/proj/ which are pretty dated now.
See README.txt therein for a better approach.

It is yet lacking the cleanup of documentation references:
find . -type f | grep -v 'svn/pristine' | grep -v 'locale' | xargs
grep "i\.class"


To add to the discussion of removing potentially obsolete code:
Additionally I have added to the Wiki page:

* r.bitpattern: Remove r.bitpattern since r.mapcalc does it more nicely now - ?
* raster/r.in.arc and raster/r.out.arc (use r.in.gdal/r.out.gdal) - ?
* raster/r.in.tiff and raster/r.out.tiff (use r.in.gdal/r.out.gdal)  - ?


IMPORTANT: we need to update accordingly
