Andy and I were talking about this last week and were of the opinion

openstreetmap-carto which did that.
I am not sure it is a good idea to switch to water polygons. Those polygons
are much more complicated because they contain lots of holes, so they are
slower to render. I'd only do that if really necessary (for instance when
you want to mask something below the water polygon.
Interesting - that change was Andy's idea and I think the thought was to
reduce the damage done by any breakage and to ensure that we're not
matching any massive polygons in the busy (land) areas.
Is the carto style live now?
No, but I have been actively working on writing chef recipes to manage a
new tile server, and they are based on it.
