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 Kendell clark Sent from Fedora GNU/Linux

I would probably be personally OK both if it was and wasn't installed by default, so I'm not really trying to push in either direction. I'm just one user after all. However, I did want to highlight that a map application is something that comes with other OSes by default. - Andreas
