These voting rules have been for a long time in the developer guide, as far as I rememeber they were introduced the day we introduced the concept of a proposal. We ask every new committer to review the developer guide, so one can legitimaltely assume the rule is known, I was just reminding of it. The rule has been set so that no one can down-vote a proposal out of a personal grudge or mere personal preference without having to put some (minimal) effort into it. Making a proposal requires effort, taking it down should require similar effort. It's your right to prepare a proposal asking that rule to be changed, if you indent to discuss if further please open a separate thread though, (just to avoid this one getting derailed in unrelated topics). > Within GeoTools itself I think a null CRS best communicates the idea > of no CRS.

I don't have the time to follow this path. Just let me know if there is any chance of getting a EPSG code associated to a wildcard CRS in Geotools, if not I'll try in the GeoServer community, if that does not work either I'll make a private fork of the project for this instead of contributing to it (don't like either idea, just listing the options).
