One thing i forgot to mention: With the removal of the Featured Map from the home page and the combining of the "CAPRA Maps" and "Community Maps" tabs into a single view, there is no longer a use for the 'featured' and 'endorsed' fields on the Map model.
So I think we should remove them. Possible reasons NOT to remove them: somebody wants to do something with these properties in a specific custom instance; it's a pain to do a database migration. Neither of these reasons seem particularly strong, but I wanted to ask first.
