The OSM default tileset is *not* meant to be used as a general-purpose tileset by third parties. There are no service-level guarantees and styles may change without notice to them. There is *absoutely* no obligation on the OSM community to notify third party users of our tilesets of any changes. In fact, third parties who consume too much tile bandwidth are encouraged to source tiles from other services like MapQuest or Mapbox, or roll out their own tile service. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy
