iOS Camera asking for Location
On iOS, the Camera API has an undocumented feature where it injects your
location into a photo's exif data.
Although neat, I think this isn't desired in most cases and it causes a
location permission dialog to appear.
I'd like to delete this location logic. Any objections?

looks like we have reached consensus, but just to reiterate:
inclusion of the exif data including location was a desired feature: -1 to
ripping it out.
The current approach is to provide users the ability to turn it off: +1

IIRC, Camera used to NOT keep the location and other data, then that was raised as an issue and it was added in… and now it’s being ripped out again?
I agree with it being optional, but ripping it out again, not so much.

Ah, thats a good point (us canadians do forget!), we will make sure to
factor that into silent consensus! (Land all the patches now, boys!)

I believe Lorin is working on it being a preference, with it turned off by
default. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4003
Also FYI Adobe US ppl are away for the turkey long weekend, so responses
might be late

I agree, rip it out. I'd love to see a plugin for editing EXIF data using
this code as a starting point perhaps, but I can't see how what we have now
is a good default.
