Here, here!

Maybe, towards that end, we should remove the slippy map from the
front page, and instead have a list of pointers to sites rendered from
our map data. Including our current slippy map, but link to it with a
tag saying "The Map for Editors" or somesuch.

That will make it clear that anybody who wants to argue with how the
map is rendered should be talking to the people who render *that* map,
and not be looking at the tags.
