--- Comment #4 from Davide Cescato <ceski at fedoraproject.org>  2009-11-05 03:17:47 EDT ---
I find the part of comment #2 after "Ideally" good. I disagree with the first
part, though. Although I see the need of hinting the user about location
support, I think that arbitrarily picking a location implies favoring a given
city or country over all others and this may make some users feel
discriminated. Politics may come at play here. Why a city on the East Coast and
not on the West Coast? Why not a city in another country or continent?

So while the changes in comment #2 are being implemented, there should be no
default location selected without any input from the user. 

If I remember correctly, there was no hinting about location support previous
versions of Fedora anyway, so there is no regression in not providing any in
Fedora 12.
