   Might this also be why currently travis tests of iau_full_stack are stalling? If so, we definitely need to change those - at least, I thought that for our normal tests we do not download anything from outside of astropy.

   (UPDATED)

   IERS_B_URL is working and appears to be the default.

   # by default for IERS class, read IERS-B table
   IERS.read = IERS_B.read

   But config is the opposite. 🤷‍♀️

       iers_auto_url = _config.ConfigItem(
           IERS_A_URL,
           'URL for auto-downloading IERS file data.')

   Haha, @mhvk ! Incidentally, I marked that test as requiring remote data in #8033 (it is not correctly marked as so) but it is not merged yet. (UPDATE: I merged it.)

   Something that is also odd is that rather than just timing out, the whole testing machinery hangs.

   I'll see if I can hack something quick for this since it appears to be affecting everything...

   UPDATE: See #8308
