[MetaCRS] CS-Map: policy for changing coordinate system/datum/transformation definitions in place

[Hugues Wisniewski]

Hi Raven,

I'd say your assumption is right.
I don't recall the history behind this.
I'll investigate and get back to you when I have the info.

Subject: [MetaCRS] CS-Map: policy for changing coordinate system/datum/transformation definitions in place

Hi all,

In r2193 NAD83_to_HARN/02 was changed in place to use the correct grid files.

I was under the impression that in-place changes were not allowed; that we would always deprecate the bad definition and create a new one.  Certainly this has been the recent approach when hundreds of datums/systems/transformations with bad transformation rotation signs were replaced.

Was NAD83_to_HARN/02 an oversight or should I expect more in-place changes like this?

Thanks,
