		 * The location should only be updated when it changes. The API doesn't always return
		 * a full location; sometimes it's missing the description or country. The location
		 * that was saved during the initial request is known to be good and complete, though.
		 * It should be left intact until the user explicitly changes it (either by manually
		 * searching for a new location, or by changing their IP address).
		 *
		 * If the location was updated with an incomplete response from the API, then it could
		 * break assumptions that the UI makes (e.g., that there will always be a description
		 * that corresponds to a latitude/longitude location).
		 *
		 * The location is stored network-wide, so that the user doesn't have to set it on each site.
