Sound good to me. Do we have to make all the changes manually or could some sort of robot do it for us - or are robots still not trusted for any job - also, should we get confirmation that the main renderers are accommodating the new format before making the switch and indeed do Mapnik and Osmarender render boundaries from relations anyway?
