Mike- Hahah--Word. I very much respect your position, although I do have to agree with John here... And as far as other possible location providers popping up anytime in the near future, new versions of the OS will have to accompany them, along with new versions of the SDK, which would prompt me, as an active developer, to update my apps, and thanks to the Market's auto-update-prompt feature my users will receive my update. I'd rather launch a current app faster and upgrade it as new features become available than spend more time on initial development planning for future features that may never exist. It is indeed quite legit to plan for the future as you're talking about, however. For me it's just a balance of pre-release development time vs. post-release dev time.
