I am aware of and accept different point of views about the project. I am only speaking my own opinion and also I don't agree that it is not a discussion for dev list. Right now there is a unique chance to get restyling a shot because Mapbox is involved and obviously they have the expertise to do it or at least initiate and maybe lead the effort.

I do agree that wishful thinking threads do not belong on dev mailing list but I would say that right now a discussion like this should happen here, again because of Mapbox folks looking for areas to be improved. I would love to hear from them on this topic, preferably with all the gory technical details (mapnik 0.x vs 2 etc).
