The CIO locator file (CIO_RA.TXT or cio_ra.bin) was always entirely optional. While it offers a minor performance boost (provided the required values are already cached), there is really no reason for the library to rely on this external data dependence. Not to mention that the locator table was prepared with the now obsoleted original IAU2000A precession/nutation model (hence it is not accurate at the μas level decades away from J2000). It is better for the library to remain fully self-consistent, and self-contained. Thus, we'll stop using the CIO locator data internally in the library.

Users may continue to access the CIO locator file if needed for legacy applications if need be.
