The location settings appear during initial setup, so they were tested
as part of a prototype for the setup last September. It turned out to be
one of the steps that people had most trouble with, saying things like
"Wow There’s a lot of words on this page, this is GPS right?". For that
reason, I'm working on making the location settings simpler rather than
more complex.
It's implausible to me that a non-trivial number of Ubuntu users would
be happy to disclose their Wi-Fi and cell tower info, but not happy with
sharing their IP address, or vice versa. And for everyone else it would
be a reduction in understandability, and an opportunity cost of
reliability and more useful features. So, I'm going to say no to this.
