Currently it's in a bit of a holding pattern. Personally, I'm waiting 
for an update of the server, which should bring a newer version of the 
mapnik render software. The other regular maintainer is on Windows, and 
would need a Windows build of that mapnik to come back to developing the 
style.

The changes are committed to svn. This is then retrieved on the OSM 
rendering server and rendering is restarted with the new style.

This requires a reload of the database to at least get 
public_transport=* in.

Handling role values, like "stop", is not supported yet.
