The problem with this is that some backgrounds (Bing, OSSV, OS Locator)
are more useful and more up to date than others (7th series, the various
NLS ones).
New users get no clue from the UI which backgrounds are likely to be a
good representation of what's there now (Bing) and which not (NLS Bart's
half-inch from when Queen Victoria was on the throne).
We've already had "new user not realising antique map is rubbish" issues
in Derbyshire with iD (which suffers from the same problem).
I did attempt (some time ago now) to get agreement on would be a sensible
list of backgrounds to offer to new editors (in iD) but got significant
pushback on the mailing lists (which might have been because Open
Historical Map uses a generic iD instance and the same imagery list) so
removing things from the generic imagery list is probably not an option.
That started out as part of
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/1929 but then was spun off into
https://github.com/osmlab/editor-imagery-index/issues/29 , which is now
closed; so is there a date available in the generic imagery list that
could be used to sort available layers by?
