The danger in not adding GRB layer is that people will 'correct' using
Bing, and we all know where that leads to...

We should focus on efforts in getting GRB to open up.  I'm terribly
frustrated by people deleting buildings using Bing while I have added
all new buildings using Agiv, doublechecked using GRB and addressed
properly only to find out that the get deleted by some oblivious user.

There is no such thing as security by obscurity.  At the very least,
give them the option.
