Well, as said, we asked again, and here is what we've been told to answer: TLG
is switching back to textured slopes.
So it turns out I was wrong about molds wearing off (and as some poeple pointed,
it didn't quite fit anyway); apparently there had been some kind of decision
involved, but that decision has apparently been reversed, and there will be
textured slopes again in the future.
Of course this only prompts more questions, to which we don't quite have answers
yet, such as whether slopes which have never been textured to start with will
get some textures; how long will it take to get rid of untextured slopes, etc...
We don't know that; only that TLG understood the importance of textures to fans,
and acknowledged they had to return.

| (...) Hey Jean-Marc, HOORAY!! Wonderful news!! Thanks very, very much for your earnest and civil reply! I hope that the reversal applies only to sloped bricks which had been textured previously, as it would be bizarre for all the new curved slopes (...)
