Comment 11 for bug 579405

I've spoken to people who have off-the-shelf satnav systems (TomTom, etc) and they tell me that although they have live traffic info functionality, they never use it, as it doesn't seem to add anything useful to route planning. From a personal perspective, I see this functionality as a low-priority, but am happy to go with the concensus of opinion.

With regard to the plug-ins, this would be a very UNIX GNU/Linux way of doing things, as it allows for different types of data (maybe some not yet invented) to talk to OSN though future plug-ins. I suspect that if we adopt this functionality, plug-ins will be the way to go.
