<p>Yes, we'll be losing that ability on sites that use lon, lat, and zoom query parameters. On the other hand, we'll be gaining the ability on sites that use zoom/lat/lon hash parameters (i.e. any that use leaflet-hash). And on the third hand, it will be easier to write a bookmarklet that auto-opens other sites at the current location, because it's easily determined from <code>location.hash</code> (whereas before you would have to delve into JS or DOM internals with no guarantee of stability).</p>
