Name one. I can probably name more that don't. Facebook for example is always adding changes. Unless you mean during the test phase, like we had the new site running on the redesign url with the old one running in parallel until it was judged a suitable time to switch the new one live. I'm not saying I'm entirely happy with the new website, but mainly I think because of how I used to do things. I've not found something yet that I wanted to do on the new site that I could do on the old and now can't. I miss being able to update the page in the URL when looking through old changesets, but I can't really remember why I ever did that anyway. Normally I'd look at old changesets having identified them through the data layer first anyway. I'm sort of glad that I can still update the page when browsing my old traces to see when I was last in an area, but even then I usually identify those first via JOSM (as I upload them as Identifiable - this won't be the case for all users though). I'm a little curious why the browse page for the first bus relation I picked switched to MapQuest open layer when I was browsing the data layer with Standard background. If it had picked the transport map for a bus route I'd have thought "Wow!" (and cycle map for cycle route) but picking MapQuest layer seems more of a quirk. (As an aside, the first cycle route I tried opened with the transport map as a background, as did the first boundary relation - but perhaps I've got something cached here now). Relation browse pages seem slow to load, probably because of trying to display a map for them (which does seem to be working better than I remember it doing, but not sure whether this is related to the latest changes or happened earlier without me noticing). I struggled briefly to find the browse page for a way I clicked on the data layer - there were links to browse pages for nodes and the changeset. I then realised that I was looking at the browse page already (when I went to the changeset browse page and back to the way browse page). When I first edited with Potlatch 2 after the change it took me a moment to spot that I had to click the work OpenStreetMap rather than View to get back to the map view. Anyway, I think most of the changes are cosmetic and just need a bit of getting used to.
