We had some discussion about this on irc last night. For those who weren't there, a summary
• It is inconsistent to reject Paar's otherwise good submission for partial similarity to Doom's E1M3, when we already have several far more obvious remakes of id maps.
• The "no remakes" guideline arose during the past two or three years, in response to a continued stream of remade id resources from certain contributors. The three maps in question here were all made well before that.
• Having three ultfreedoom episodes beginning with obvious clones gives the impression to new contributors that cloning the original game is freedoom's mapping theme, when in fact the intention is quite the opposite.
• On the other hand just deleting the maps (bringing back the "single room with exit switch" placeholder map in those slots) seems like a step backwards.
