alt Hacker News> It works great as long as you squint just a bit, ignoring that it generally calls for long,lat and is designed with the assumption of a world CRS.
I thought the spec allowed you to specify the CRS, but I just checked the RFC and they removed that from the 2016 specification and WGS84 is specified. It does allow for alternative CRS with prior arrangement, but like you said that does require a lot of care.

Yup, technically speaking if the coordinates aren't in WGS84, it isn't GeoJSON
Yes, they deprecated the CRS field and the current state of geojson handling libraries is pretty messy as a result since geojson does not have versioning!
If you have old geojson in a different projection, will your library respect the crs field or will it simply misinterpret your data?
Wondering if anyone could shed light on the decision to remove it as a standard when projection seems to be a critical part of GIS.
