I think it makes sense for Fedora to use MLS via the existing code base. All
that needs to be done to get working geolocation is a build config change and

Firefox, so this is very simple non-coding change.
This is the tricky part. Gecko's location code will need to be
refactored slightly to use different providers on different systems.
Geoclue is the right solution for platforms where it is available.
Zeeshan: what became of the Geoclue patch in bug 485472? dougt r-'d the
proposed patch (in 2009), but AFAICT only for minor issues that can be
corrected, not for any fundamental disagreement about using Geoclue.
