hi
I'm not understanding the contension here. If you don't want maps,
simply don't use it. You don't have to configure it, and you can turn
off location services in the privacy settings, rendering it mostly
useless. If that isn't enough for you, you can simply remove it. I'm
actually not sure what maps is supposed to do, I assume it's supposed
to be a kind of google maps replacement, but as I neither use google
maps nor have a gps I don't need maps. But I don't object to having it
installed by default. After all, if a user has to install too many
applications by default they will eventually complain that fedora
should have these installed and "insert distro here" has them, etc.
Codecs I completely understand, taht's a sticky legal issue that
probably won't go away soon, but maps ... I just don't understand why
people are objecting to it.
Thanks
