--- Comment #2 from James Alexander <[email protected]> ---
The GeoIP script is loaded on every page load anyway (and is not likely to
change because of CentralNotice and other targeted extensions. The only reason
I have it checking in this extension is in case someone installed it on a non
WM wiki.

That said I'm not horribly against this as long as fundraising (copied in now)
is ok with it and with the added load from international. The store itself is
available for other countries (and so people would not get an unavailable
message) but is less reliable (much more expensive shipping, which we sometimes
subsidize etc) there.

That said, while I highly prefer a PHP insert over a js insert in general I
don't agree that this is currently a huge issue. On English Wikipedia (and on
most other languages where this extension would be activated in anywhere close
to the near future) there is quite a bit of other javascript insertions in the
interface (both the sidebar and up top) which are significantly more obvious
then the shop link.
