Not at runtime, but there is an  issue, the data dir used in tests
is destroyed and rebuilt at every test run (for each class, not method).
We could create a blacklist in the user_projections storage, that also has
its own
problems though, as supported EPSG codes evolve over time, and the data
dirs are long lived.

Right, that is another issue, everything in the projection subsystem is
pluggable,
which makes it hard to setup a query that would return only what's
supported.
I have witnessed installations that had custom plugins with extra
projections
support compared to the base GeoServer, for example.

Err... I'm not sure I have a good solution... time ago there was this
suggestion
to have the WMS caps only report the list of CRS that are actually in use,
plus some well known ones (e.g., 3857).
This could be a flag in the WMS configuration, enabled by default in the
release
data directory.
It would also have the nice side effect of stop troubling some lesser OGC
clients,
such as, you know, ArcGis
