It might. If so, so be it, as far as I'm concerned.

Not in my opinin -- this falls into the "We might not generate
alternatives for everything" category. If we need a new map, and the
layers need to behave differently, only updated layers will work (in the
same way only updated controls will work with newe vector layers, for
example).
