And diversity is a good thing. Osmarender is a lot easier to use at home for people who want to do their own map rendering. Who knows where Osmarender would be today if t...@h hadn't pushed its development. In any case, I would not throw away the infrastructure that has taken some time to build. If the tile layer is really deemed superfluous I would rather have the clients render something else instead of shutting them down. The maplint layer is already a specialized layer, that probably should be continued. What else could we render? Nautical charts maybe? What else?
