It's hyperbole, but I apologise. My point is there is nothing to say that implementation of any suggestions will be stalled for a while because a new system is under development. Not everyone reads the mailing list, and those who do may not remember that someone mentioned OSM Mapnik is fiddly, and a new, better, system is being worked on. It would seem that the typical, well-meaning user enters a request and sees nothing happening, and that is an issue.
