It's the constant moaning whenever something changes that annoys me most. All the effort that volunteers put in to create and improve the style, to run the servers, to write the blog posts and announcements and all we get from Lester is moan moan moan. I've had enough, to be frank. Lester, we make the styles available, we make the software available, we make instructions available and you've had plenty of warning that things are changing (in fact, they are always changing, and this always displeases you). If it's important to you to keep a particular style that's understandable. Make your own maps, pay someone else to make them, or find some other volunteers to piggyback off. But please, keep these constant complaints to yourself.
