Hey,
thanks for leaving a comment in the blog. Yes, it is certainly a bit of hype and
some of the goals are far reached. On the other hand some of us spent some
amount of time thinking about the usecases and sat down and wrote code (not me
though) and the code was moved to the public and we will continue to develop it
there. So understand the blog as my excitment on GeoClue and Diversity and what
you can do with it.

kind regards
