In the tracking folder ,update-tracking is still using iridium.txt as well as iridium-NEXT.txt. My understanding is the iridium sats numbered <100 are decommissioned. But still show up on the iridium-live map. Also hardly any of the iridium-NEXT sats show up numbered >100.

These are pre-installed on the Dragon os-focal R26

Iridium-internal satellite numbering (IRA) unfortunately does not match the "official" NORAD names. If you're interested in more details & how to generate a mapping: check Issue https://github.com/muccc/iridium-toolkit/issues/28
