Dear community,

with Renato Lima we were discussing the opportunity to modularize a bit
further our zip code management module for the Brazilian Localization.

In fact, what we did seems generic enough to provide a good basis for other
countries too (after further refactoring that should be pushed).
The only thing that is really dragging us towards Brazil specifics is the
"city" object we are using from our localization instead of using something
generic (and if you wonder why, it's used for the electronic invoicing
otherwise you can just not invoice here).

I've ever been a big fan of magic new releases where suddenly all the same
code will suddenly rule the world altogether peacefully  but on the other
hand if we never look for localizations convergence for sure it will never
happen.

This is just the very dumb concept of city. BUT, if we use something
specific instead of something shared with others, then suddenly we aren't
compatible and it sucks. So this is why I'm asking here.

I've seen a module by fellow Syleam called city or base_city.
And I've got a few questions regarding it:

   1. did somebody ported it to v7? where then?
   2. would you recommend it?
   3. any other localization already based on it or who would like to use
   on it? If not and if you need cities why aren't you using it?
   4. anything against porting it to v7 and putting it under the Community
   Reviewer Umbrella (read CampToCamp Christmas weekly) ?

BTW, I still owe a post detailing the plan for the transitional non
semantically partner_id permuted branches (RS-OCB) we will use here for a
few months before the core and ecosystems stabilize. I just wanted to
mention I'm a bit less afraid with the semantic inversion now that I
finally believe the change was actually by design (that was just so hard to
believe given all what was missed until I recently spotted the issue). Less
afraid doesn't mean blind either, but at least, things will probably be
moving in the right direction over the time.
But sorry, no time for the message yet. Stay tuned.


Best regards.
