When distributions don't adopt proj 5.0.0 it won't get much real world 
usage and hence won't uncover other regressions that should be fixed in 
the next release.

There were many release candidates, but only a handful of testers.

OSGeo projects should get more involved testing new core library release 
candidates to catch regressions like these earlier.

Kind Regards,
