        <div class="gmail_extra">Not at all. I am trying to help you by
          communicating the fact that this change is upcoming, and I am
          collating responses and feeding them back to John. I simply
          noted that this request has been made previously and it was
          rejected on the basis that the OSM.org website's primary focus
          is to spread the message of how OSM is different. There are
          some people within the community that think we should not
          provide a map on the home screen and instead do something like
          <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://openstreetmap.de/">http://openstreetmap.de/</a>
          or even <a moz-do-not-send="true"
            href="http://openstreetmap.us/">http://openstreetmap.us/</a><br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div class="gmail_extra">I will feed these comments back, and
          ask for the issue to be reconsidered, but please this is by no
          means a guarantee that thing will be changed.<br>

        <div class="gmail_extra">p.s. This redesign is a proposal from
          John of the MapBox team. It will ultimately be accepted or
          rejected by the OSM Foundation/working groups. Anyone can
          propose changes, so if you have the coding skills to make this
          change then feel free to do it and add a "pull request" on
          github.<br>
