i prefer v0.9. here is a short explanation why: s/T-shirts/minutely tiles/.

a slightly longer explanation would be: as i understand it (and i may
be wrong) under v0.8 if i am using a Derived Database (minutely
updated postgis) to create publicly-available Produced Works
(up-to-date tiles) then i must either provide a machine-readable
database dump or a "diff" between the original database and my
Derivative Database. since a "diff" from a planet file or mysql schema
dump to postgis doesn't make any sense this appears to compel me to
provide an up-to-date database dump on request (which could be up to
each minute). to me, this seems an impractical situation.

if i have misunderstood then please set me right and accept my
apologies. if not, then what can we do about this use case? has there
been any further discussion following
