The pull request and automatic mail to the list went out 11 days ago. A test
site on the dev server was set up. People commented, changes to the new UI
were made. This was all done in the open and anyone could comment.
Before that I believe there was a posting to the talk list, and before that
many people brought it up as a feature they'd like to see out of samen's
presentation.

Can we finally put this to rest? I assume you mean there's no text in the
bottom right hand corner stating (C) OpenStreetMap, because there definitely
is attribution. There's a great big OpenStreetMap text and logo on the front
page, and a Copyright & License link prominently in the menu. On osm.org
we're not only required to attribute on the front page, but virtually every
other page as well has OSM data, often not on a map. For example, there's
more than just the map on
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/250379363/history.
Most websites will be using OSM data for a map in a viewbox. If that's all
you're doing with OSM data then attributing in the corner of the viewport
makes sense. OSM.org does a lot more with OSM data then that, and attributes
in a way that makes sense for how it uses it. In any case, it's largely
unrelated to the layer switcher.
