<p dir="auto">I get that people are scared that we will mess up the map. It's normal for users to be afraid of UI changes even when they are good for them long term. But just saying that it isn't gonna work isn't productive.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It's also not helpful to dismiss other opinions with "people don't know how things work, so they're scared and afraid of change".<br>
I explained some technical reasons why messing with the maps appearance means tampering with their message. It's measurable in numbers, don't dismiss it as uninformed fearmongering.</p>
