<p>This discussion is 2,5 years old now, I would like to propose reconsidering the decision made.</p>
<p>More and more devices are getting high DPI screens (in particular, all new mobile devices have such a display). Vector tiles have still not landed, and even Google Maps falls back (lite version) to raster tiles for mobile devices, apparently for performance reasons.</p>
<p>For the layers Cycle Map and Transport Map, retina tiles are already served (apparently by Thunderforest, though).</p>
<p>Hasn't the cost for CPU, storage and bandwidth declined in the meantime, so that we could afford Retina tiles now?</p>
