Garvan, Chris,
Hmmm, now I am totally confused. My initial guess as to the purpose of
integrating 'stumbling' code with a web browser was that the code would
expose the radio data needed for stumbling through some API to the code
running in web pages, i.e. to web apps. This seems to have been wrong,
so maybe this work has no relevance to me.
However, now that I have gotten confused, it makes me wonder what is
actually happening. I am unable to decipher, from your postings to the
list or from the bugzilla report what the purpose of this integration
might be.
Why are you mixing stumbling code with the code of a web browser? Are
you making Fennec a MozGeoLocServ client? Are you making Fennec able to
upload stumbling data to MozGeoLocServ? Ah, maybe you are adding on to
Fennec some sort of API provider for Android Java Apps. Then again that
does not seem to have anything to do with web browsing so I would be
surprised to hear that the Fennec people wanted such code in their code
base. So it's probably something else simple that I am not guessing. I'd
be interested to hear.

Garvan, you said eariler that 'the next stable release' would split
the backend from the frontend to make the backend usable on
Firefox/Android. Did that happen?
Still a work in progress, the integration bug is here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1024708 All the code in
src/service builds as a pure jar, usable from any app I would think.
When that lands, it will be possible to turn on stumbling in
nightly. Unfortunately there are no changes related to FxOS.
