Robtek - I would not really say that I'm "demanding", "requesting" or "wishing". I suppose what I'm doing is "suggesting" in the form of a "request". Yes I may appear to be "demanding" to you, and you appear to be being "arrogantly dismissive" to me. I'm sure that's not what either of us is *actually* doing, as we are communicating by the imperfect world of the internet, where subtlety is generally lost in translation.
Of course OM is inundated with hungry mouths, and whenever a request is made, whatever it's merits, it is just seen as another hungry mouth. This has become a kind of ritual where everybody makes requests as though theirs is the most important idea on Earth, then there's a knee-jerk assertive snapping back from OM's protectors regardless of the merit of the idea. This is the process we are both engaged in now.
I think whether my suggestion to release the updated maps is "reasonable" or "unreasonable" depends upon whether it would entail extra work for Oleg & Co. If it does I will accept this as being the case and not mention it again. If it doesn't then my suggestion would give many members of the community (especially mission builders) the opportunity to use these maps to the benefit of themselves and the rest of the community.
I see this as being more of technical question than one of "rights" and "demands". If it is easily achieved then I would *suggest* that whoever is responsible for the updated maps (don't think it's Oleg, actually) should at least consider their release via another beta patch. They can decide "yea" or "nay" accordingly. However I would *at least* like them to consider it.
