Comment (by dbaston):

 I'm less and less understanding the use case for GEOS to carry a 4-byte
 SRID on every geometry (actually 8 bytes I think because of padding), with
 which it does nothing, especially given that we already provide a
 "userData" pointer which is probably also not used frequently. Given that
 the behavior has been incorrect for years and nobody besides me has
 complained, I'd be inclined to remove SRID in the next major release.
