That would make one large distributed tile server, but the issue is
getting inbound connections to those T@H users running behind
firewalls. They can connect OUT to get work and again to push the
results out to a central server, but anyone that needs a tile would
a) have to know who has it (central server index hit most likely),
and b) get a connection INTO the renderer that has the tile. <br>

Possible? Sure. Good use of resources? Probably not.<br>

If we want to do anything at all "officially" as a
replacement, I would cast my vote clearly in favour of a
data tile service with client side rendering.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
