I realize I'm new here, and this might be out of place, but nonetheless.
I feel that it should be up to whomever is running the server to decide which maps they decide to include in their roster/rotation. If the client itself had some sort of a restriction, the creative minds behind mapmaking stand a chance of dying out.
Also, it doesn't seem realistic to ask the devs to change the engine. That would basically be changing the entire game, and not everyone might be able to run it.
I'm assuming there is only so much that this engine can handle. If you, as a creative modder/mapmaker, decide that this engine is too constricting, you can create your own, use another one for a different game, or the like.
*EDIT* My opinion, of course, is invalid if by "map restrictions" one is referring to how restrictive the next release will be in how maps can be designed, and how they can be implemented into the game within the confines of the engine itself.
