Description
The `alfaalfa` url (http://arecibo.tc.cornell.edu/hiarchive/alfalfa/spectraFITS) point to ned, so I wonder why we keep it as a separate service (other than for historical reasons).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the astroquery entry points for the AlfaAlfa service and the Ned service, then compare how each uses the listed AlfaAlfa URL. Confirm the intended deprecation path and identify any service references that would need to change; done means AlfaAlfa is deprecated in favor of Ned without breaking the supported query interface.
