In order to play on a "new maps" server you currently have to often search for hours trying to find a map download site for the server that is actually running. So, why not include in the core patch an option to either download the map while waiting to join the game if your connection speed is fast enough or be given an option leave the game and be given a chance to download the map and try to play on the server once that is done.

In otherwords, why hunt for a download link? If you don't have the map for the server you want to play you should be able to download the map from the server without hunting for a download site.

I posted about this not long ago and it seems other people already suggested something like this too.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

If you read the RG readme file it says on there

Read #3

Quote:

PLANNED FEATURES (Either planned to be done by release, or next major update)
----------------
1. Server MOTDs
Server owner can design their own mini HTML page that is displayed to
players when they connect. This page can contain anything from server
news to logos and URLS.

2. Client localization
RenGuard client buttons and controls displayed in the same chosen default
language as the MOTD.

3. Map Notifications and Autodownloads
RenGuard will warn you that the server you are connecting to has maps in
its rotation that you do not have installed. Options to automatically
download and install missing maps may be added.

4. Security enhancements. Although Renguard is very complex and secure from
most tampering methods, we already have more improvements planned. We
could delay the release until RenGuard is "perfect", but the current
protection should stop most if not all current cheating...we want it to
stay that way and will keep updating the client as necessary.

UNRULES.com has all the maps you would ever want. They update regularly with new maps. If you decide to use them, unzip the map packs into your Renegade/Data file.
