I'm not in the know about the technical roadmap, but I have a question -
why would arbitrary precision be needed? I.e., 0.01''[1] is a
centimeter-scale resolution. I'm not sure what coordinates can be even
known with such resolution, let alone be needed for anything practical.

I agree. One could probably remove some of the ultra-precise options for precision without loosing anything realistic (there is probably an intrinsic limit to the precision in coordinate systems like WGS84).

Regards,

Markus
