Sounds sensible to me, the harbour restrictions can be a real pain sometimes. Seems like if they wanted tight control over what can be installed for each app to avoid dependency issues etc, then they should have used a container format... but that's OT.

Can you explain what you think the benefits to the end user of using Mapnik will be? I've had a quick look at the OSM wiki but it's still unclear to me - is it speed of rendering, or quality, or both?
