The default location field is useful in some ways and can be called from
other objects but is specific to some usecases (Server location,
geo-location etc) that said more and more nowadays we find that people want
there location to be shown for different sites so including it in the basic
metadata is a good idea for a modern system.

As it is already there would it be a better idea to extend it and hook it
into a mapping system rather then exclude it, it seems a step backwards.
