As Dave explained, it was a combination of technical and 'real world'
issues. I'd never take offence in someone being interested in the
cycle map, so don't worry about it!

This is really a QA issue - although I knew that there would be
mappers interested in seeing their improvements straight away
(including me, for one), there's a growing number of other websites
using the cycle tiles and I didn't want to release the set with the
rendering problem.

Those nice mapnik guys keep fixing things when I ask them, which is
cool, and lets me do funky new things.

Fun fun snowboarding. The upload is in progress, and will be complete
in a few hours from now.
