- No - No - No, but I am fond of the idea of a new default map. About the only reason I could see for this being a challenge to me would be a possible minimal system on a Raspberry Pi (or similar one board style computer) where the space for all the requirements might be important. But given prices of RAM/SD Cards and the small computers, I’m not concerned much at all.
