No, I was referring to porting apps between Surface and Windows 10 Phone (and the desktop too).

I guess that refers to changes in the map storage. With Windows itself now managing the offline maps, it would be stupid and wasteful to let Here apps maintain their separate copies, so some workaround was arranged behind the scenes to hook Here into the system maps without code changes. But then maybe the platform people at Microsoft are not happy about this hack and want it to go away as soon as feature continuity is achieved in the stock Maps.
