Hi devs,

in OSGeo4W actually:

C:\>proj --version
Rel. 6.3.2, May 1st, 2020

OSGeo4W next generation is in a testing phase at the moment.

one of the biggest steps forward is:

>PROJ 7.2 <=

is GRASS GIS ready for PROJ 7?

in PROJ7, there is a complete change how PROJ related/needed data is
handled:

(1) dynamically via https://cdn.proj.org/
(2) via a revamped proj-data with file size of more than 500 MB

* will GRASS be ready to handle it dynamically via CDN?
* including more than 500MB data into our standalone installer may explode our used NSIS system.

kind regards
Helmut
