@CKoerner_WMF We're leaving this open as it's assigned to you, but you'll need to figure out some action here.
just pinging @CKoerner_WMF because I'm going to be closing the parent task and we're likely to get questions then.
Hey @CKoerner_WMF should we close this or are you using it to track sending the other communication?
We can't deploy the new map styles at the moment. We do have an update page on the status if people ask. I'm declining for now.
