Particularly Wikivoyages and the Wikipedias where the <mapframe> feature is deployed.
Paul mentioned developing a demo to show the difference. I'm sure there will be some concerns on zoom level details and the design of the new tiles.
We'll want to ask for feedback and present a suggested timeline.

Paul has a post up on the Maps mailing list as a first step. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/maps-l/2017-April/001565.html
Another post shared with the larger and more active discovery-l https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/discovery/2017-April/001504.html
Paul and I will be meeting soon to discuss other venues.
@Pnorman Yeah, let's get something on the English Wikivoyage Traveler's Pub (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub)
Once you post the message there I can get something translated and posted to the other language voyages.
A full list, if you're curious, are here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16503 (Search in the page for "Wikivoyage")
I've asked for translations of the message to other languages. Once I have a few translations we can post to the local Travelers' Pub for the remaining Wikivoyages.

No feedback from any of the languages.
Feedback and discussions have happened across venues for these style changes. Once deployed we will assuredly take in more feedback, but for the quarter I consider my assistance here resolved. :)
