IAU does not prescribe constellation stick figures, only borders and (lately) star names. S&T proposes stick figures which are used in common IAU/S&T PR material. If there is a difference between S&T's lines and our attempt to reproduce them, it needs first and foremost to be fixed in modern_st.
Maybe we should in addition find a way to cross-reference items, like: constellationship_from = modern_st in info.ini. This could reduce such duplication and avoid errors. A sky culture that does not care about star names could refer to modern_iau or the default modern. Similarly, artwork could have a reference entry to modern (but explicit entry - without entry it's "no artwork"). It may even be possible to e.g. "inherit most from Skyculture A's artwork, and overwrite/extend a few own entries". A problem may then be the references.
OTOH, a completely new format has been defined already which we must review in the coming weeks.
