Find an alternative to MaxMind's GeoLite2 City database

As announced by MaxMind, starting "in 2019, latitude and longitude coordinates in the GeoLite2 databases will be removed."

We're currently including that information in "latitude" and "Longitude" fields of details documents. I don't know exactly which clients are using it, but I believe Metrics Bot does.

We can do two things: ignore this and just leave those fields blank starting in 2019, or switch to another provider of this information, for example https://www.ip2location.com/. Still ~9 months to make a decision and implement it.

Note that this does not affect the GeoLite2 Country database that we're processing and shipping with the Tor daemon.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
