As currently the JSON RFC **itself** is in the process [P] of being
"updated" to be augmented to the IETF STD track, I read a lot of
opinions on a similar topic although on a larger scale ;-) What I
unsurprisingly re-learned [M] up to now is: How hard it is to close a
"small" hole or two years later, when basically everyone might rely on
these "features" ...
So as I am more or less only fostering the I-D-ing attempt, I might now
again be tempted (cf. [A] and other mails in this thread here) to
conclude, that we keep the crs object as is (to be able to then
deprecate it and block any conforming GeoJSON object containing a member
with the same name but a corresponding value with a deviating meaning).
Given that, we then all would be back to: How do we really phrase "the"
common concerns shared by the geojson community. Some proposals might
already been sprinkled all over the mail archives of the months April
and May.

welcome also from my side. Very nice you also came to the party :) ...
and while you're here, please let me tell you, that I **really** enjoy
using D3 in my own projects for the visualization subtasks.
All the best,
Stefan
