A related question…Is there some reason we need to carry old, no longer in-use, satellites in these files? The Doppler.sql file is full of satellites one cannot possibly use anymore. Same question about the lists in general. Can one filter the lists so adding AO-51 for example to tracking is never even an option—as in one never even sees it.

Well, for one thing, dead satellites sometimes come back from the dead.  AO-7 comes to mind - and yes, I was on the first US pass after it was confirmed to be alive after 21 years of silence.
