Comment 3 for bug 1467790

I have discussed this with the interaction designer for the setup (Andreea), the visual designer for the setup (Grazina), and a visual designer for System Settings (Olivia), and we all agreed that the designs should be the same.

Currently the setup design spec (a) is not public, (b) doesn't have a separate "Location" step at all, and (c) is over a year out of date, because it was written by a designer who stopped working on Ubuntu about March 2014. <https://goo.gl/NPCEit> Its only revision so far this year is a comment, from me before I realized that last point, asking why the location setting was presented differently from System Settings! A new setup design spec is being written, but it will take a while -- it is trying to cover both phone setup and PC installation, and PC installation is highly complex.

Waiting for that is not necessary nor even useful for fixing this bug. The "Location access" step of the setup is already not following any design spec that I'm aware of (b), so you can't even complain that fixing the bug would introduce divergence between the code and the design.
