The

If suitable maps can be found I think it would be reasonable to replace the first six maps on the list (everything from Living Lands up). Certainly it looks like removing Hide and Seek and Firebreak would be a good idea. Incandescence was also not replaced when it was removed for technical reasons. Of course we could also just shrink the MM map pool a little.
