Deck color graphs are now based on mana production instead of card color?

I lost all my decks' color graphs, which seems to be a documented problem already. Then I went to update The Big Deck with DKA cards, forcing a refresh and regenerating the graph image in the process. However, upon seeing the new graph, I immediately noticed the red, green, and white slices were much larger than I was used to seeing them.
I normally Browse with scripting off to speed up page loads, but I turned it on to see the more detailed deck stats graph, and the larger-sized slices appeared to correspond perfectly to what's in the inner ring (where it checks based on the mana production of your lands, and in this case the data is distorted by a large number of "any color" lands).
Was this a conscious change so that now decks are given color graphs according to their mana instead of their colored cards, and if so what prompted the team to decide that this was a more accurate way to gauge deck coloring?
The deck charts are now clustered a bit. It used to be that it was a perfect ratio, however now they are rounded to the nearest %5. So, let's say you have a deck with 99 red cards and 1 blue. Well, that blue slice will be 5% now instead of 1%. This was done to cut down on the disk storage and to make more decks duplicate charts.

Another thing: Looking at 60 Creatures Dot Deck, I noticed an ugly bump in the chart graphic, about 85% of the way around clockwise (as if whoever was in charge of making graphics, simply altered a graphic that had a color segment ending at 85 and tried coloring over it but left a pixel or two at the edge to be transparent).
On further investigation, the gap seems to apply to any deck whose final positive contribution in color order is represented by a slice that's either 45% or 90% (and nothing else).
You might want to regenerate the affected images, unless it's easier and not too time-consuming to just recreate all 10,626 graphs anew after fixing the terminal 45% and 90% pieces that are used to generate them.

that is super weird. thanks for the heads up i'll try and figure out what's causing them.

I just looked at your deck and for me the outer part of the pie isn't the same as the inner ring. All the color pies look the same as they ever were to me, with the mana production on the inner ring and the card colors on the outer ring.
