Hi!
Over the past ~year I have made multiple unsuccessful attempts (5607 , 6090) at trying to leverage CRS EPSG:4326 tile sources with deck in a geospatial capacity.
With that sad, I would like to propose a feature request adding native support for alternate geospatial CRS’ other than EPSG:3857 to deck. Namely adding support to MapController/MapView to support EPSG:4326.
When working on attempt 6090 @Pessimistress made mention of this RFC (https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/blob/master/dev-docs/RFCs/proposals/projection-mode-improvements-rfc.md) from 2017.
When working on attempt 5607 @kylebarron mentioned this proposed draft (https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/pull/5504) as a possibility.
My current solution is less than ideal as I have stood up a MapProxy server that reprojects tiles from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:3857.
Would love to be able to leverage decks MapController/MapView without having to do this reprojection via MapProxy.
Others appear to have expressed similar interest…

Thanks so much for your consideration and all you are doing creating such an awesome framework.
