In this note we introduce and study a new class of maps called oriented colored broken submersions. This is the simplest class of maps that satisfies a version of the $b$–principle and in dimension 2 approximates the class of oriented submersions well in the sense that every oriented colored broken submersion of dimension 2 to a closed simply connected manifold is bordant to a submersion. We show that the Madsen–Weiss theorem (the standard Mumford Conjecture) fits a general setting of the $b$–principle, namely, a version of the $b$–principle for oriented colored broken submersions together with the Harer stability theorem and Miller–Morita theorem implies the Madsen–Weiss theorem.
