I'm +1 for this -- I also think that API has changed with the proj
upgrade. Even the removal of support files like the gcs.csv file has
impact on downstream projects which rightly or wrongly depend on this
file (e.g. QGIS).

Is there any other api breaking changes planned if the version does
get bumped to 3.0? Or is it restricted solely to the projection
related api?
