Back at the beginning of July there was a thread about removing 5 entries for
"smooth slopes," and the consensus seemed to be strongly in favor of removing
them.

I'm curious if a decision was made about those entries -- I checked the
catalog roadmap and couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Site management put the brakes on. We were therefore unable to address the issue.

I've parked those I thought should be redone in a stockroom. Are the brakes
on permanently, ie a screeching halt, or is it a temporary issue which will
be addressed later? Eventually I would like to drive again.

I think the only issue site management should have is with programming resources
since those seem forever to be taxed by overwork when something does not suit
them them and freely available when it does. I do not particularly see that this
can be a programming issue.

Or do we go for the unwritten rule thingie again when we consider it inconsistent
to have some variants allowed for textures and others not?

It will happen, just not yet.
