wap.ratp.fr is the mobile website for the parisian subway company. I already warned them that they needed to send their viewport meta tag to all users about 2 months ago, but they still do browser sniffing before deciding if they should send that viewport meta. So now I'd like to add an ua override because this is a very useful website for parisian people. I'd love a leo for such a simple bug even if France is not one of our launch countries.

the build/ exclusion will be handled in bug 887873, will send a new patch with only the ua change.

I think this is a valid request and would certainly benefit people traveling. However, we need to balance the need for good content with the risk of overriding the entire Web. Each override adds additional evangelism cost by working against our evangelism effort. (Sites have responded that they are content to leave things as is because their content is working due to an UA override.) I'm hesitant to add an override for a site that does not present a need in one of the target launch locales. I am open to being convinced that this site is indeed important to the expected Firefox OS user base.
I get the point, I'll try to reach them again (but will add the override in my local tree ;) ).
This bug specifically is leo-. I'll email Lawrence, because I think there may be a good alternative to get this into 1.1.

I'm resolving this as won't fix as we won't add this override at this time. We can revisit this site again later if need be.

FTR I contacted them again, no answer for now.
got an answer today for my second mail, saying they transmit my message to the development team.
