[postgis-users] Help shaping the future: how do your use of spatial_ref_sys ?

[Darafei "Komяpa" Praliaskouski]

Hi,

Projections I use are all standard:

 - EPSG:4326 for unprojected OpenStreetMap
 - EPSG:3857 for tiles and quick 2D calculations
 - EPSG:3395 for some legacy systems that can't go to 3857
 - EPSG:4978 for 3D XYZ calculations like all-globe clustering
