[GeoJSON] Future plans for GeoJSON

[Jerry Sievert]

I for one, would be very sad to see GeoJSON go the way of OAuth:

GeoJSON is clean, flexible, and easy to implement and work with (we use it
as the base commonality in Terraformer - https://github.com/esri/Terraformer),
and I would hate to see a standards body destroy that.

Just my 2 cents.
