Andy T, By "default menus" I mean those background layers that appear for normal folk who just go to osm.org and click edit (be that in ID, JOSM, Potlatch). Basically those people who do not spend the time, or have the know-how to add a new layer in JOSM's menus, or add a custom URL in ID. I'm also ruling out people who set up their own instance of ID/Potlatch/whatever. As noted editor-imagery-index was designed to unify the background layers across JOSM,Potlatch,ID,etc..
By "damaging the community" I mean, we are essentially saying to all the people who have scanned and georectifed maps (be they individual or organisations like NLS), "thanks for your work be we don't see it as relevant to OSM, we are therefore going to make it hard for community members to use your layers as they will have to fist figure out how to add the layer to their editor of choice". I know your issue (about the menus in ID) is important but I do hope you can see that we are talking about two different things here. I have changed the subject of the email to reflect this as what pnorman is proposing affects more than just ID. Regards, Rob
