Hi again Andre and Marco,

I've been investigating and the latest version of EPSG database (v8.4) already 
incorporates a lot of changes compared to the datum_shift.csv from gdal.



>>  tfm 1571 is a bug in the EPSG database. It should be "Amersfoort to 
>>  ETRS89 (1)", but somehow the source CRS got wrong.
>> 
>>  It was deprecated in 2001, and replaced by tfm 1751 (4289 to 4258) under 
>>  the same name.
>>  For some reasons, EPSG still keeps it in its database, marked 
>>  "deprecated". The online version of the database does not show it 
>>  anymore, so I think QGIS can drop transformations marked deprecated as 
> well.
> 
> +1 to drop all deprecated transformations.

>>  @pedro: I really would encourage you to get this into the EPSG database

Please take a look here:

And with transformatio parameters:

Is almost everything updated with same parameters that I've provided. The only 
difference is in tfm 1988.



As you can see, the most recent parameters (green background) use as 
TARGET_CRS_CODE 4258, but to use "+towgs84", we need to put 4326 as 
TARGET_CRS_CODE, right? If yes, we can not use the various codes exactly as 
provided in the EPSG database. We need to adapt them.

Regarding the transformations marked as deprecated (red background), I really 
think they can be dropped.


Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Pedro
