(Get the code!)
Ouch. Attacking the messenger is not very productive. I own the book, but that is not relevant to this issue, but I can suggest how it can be made relevant. OSS verses propriety is important, and I am certain that OSS will win on this issue.
The Registry team had a list of prioritised work, something must be dropped to undertake this issue. The Google Maps code was handed to us under the assumption it would be simple to integrate. It was not. We dedicated a developer to this issue for 1.5 releases. The cost was that team and project pages were not updated to the Launchpad 2.0 layout, nor have they been, because more urgent work was undertaken. There are new features and broken features that are more urgent then this issue--one of changing the implementation without adding for fixing Launchpad behaviour.
If someone from the community provided a drop-in replacement, I will review the code on my own time and work to get it merged into the tree. The behaviour is largely on the page, some deft updates to launchpad.js to support OSM/OpenLayer and GMap is the principle effort. Note that Launchpad is switching to YUI, and the script must be compatible. I will have to provide the code that toggle between GMap and the alternate maps code.
