Silly question, why would you trace from Mapnik, since it's OSM anyway?
I use it to check the OSM data relative to another image without down 
loading the data ...

So I am not tracing but visual error/accuracy/missing checks.

There are many reasons why you might want to use a non-imagery
background (or overlay which essentially all have gone too), for example
large scale orientation or highlighting specific features, editing in
areas without useful areial imagery and so on.

Yes, indeed.

So, could we have our background layers back, please?
