But there may be the case that the user doesn't care about google layers 
nor OSM ones, he just want to use data from his municipality's WMS, but 
the WMS doesn't support 900913. If GeoNode doesn't support the CRS the 
data is published in, then he can't use the data at all. Then GeoNode is 
useless.

That's exactly what happened to me and why I opened that ticket.

Aside: the whole question arises from the fact that we're storing the 
center point of the map in 4326, then who performs the transformation to 
Map's CRS. Wouldn't make more sense to store the map's center point in 
the Map's CRS to start with? (I don't know about the internals of this 
design decision so excuse me if I'm missing something obvious.)
