I just noticed that the Great Lakes of Canada and the US now show up at all zoom levels, and then noticed that this seems to be true of all lakes. I'd thought that there was a technical reason making this very resource intensive, and so wasn't done. (There was some discussion about this a year or two back, when the Great Lakes were tagged as Lakes, having been tagged as sea for an extended period) Has somebody come up with something clever, are the rendering servers just allocating more rendering resources for this task, or is something else going on?
