I think the biggest problem is that peoples think that epsg.io is the 
official EPSG registry, while actually it is unrelated (the official 
registry is epsg.org). I keep repeating that in every conferences, and 
still see peoples surprised to learn that fact every times. I have been 
told that an EPSG layer asked epsg.io to at least put a disclaimer 
banner, but they refused to do so. Since EPSG is not a registered 
trademark, they have few legal tools for protecting their name.
