Hey Michael, I though one of the issue is that the new version doesn't support plugins the same way, which means that if we port code we can't use our ubuntu geoip provider anymore. Did we decide it's fine to stop using that backend?

We will likely shortly have both in main (see MIR bug 1388294) and it would be great to be able to demote geoclue1 to universe and only support one version of the service. The packages associated with this bug all have a reverse depends on geoclue1 in some form or patches to remove support for geoclue-2.0 because it wasn't in main yet (e.g. gnome-settings-daemon). Porting from geoclue-1.0 to 2.0 apparently isn't terribly trivial. But we have at least six months to do it.
