Hi Paul,
I hope you are well.
As you have seen my responses at [1] and [2], it will come as no surprise
that I oppose this move. I have set out my reasoning below:

Hi Andy,
We are mixing up two issues here. One is as to whether historic layers
should be removed from the default menus (and determining what counts as
historic of no value to current mapping) and the second issue of how iD
presents the list.
Please do not let an iD bug direct the future
Are there any *non*-historical uses for NLS - Bartholomew Half Inch,
1897-1907; NLS - OS 1-inch 7th Series 1955-61; or OS New Popular Edition

Of course there are. Historical maps are a huge source of meta data for the
landscape, much of which cannot be obtained in any other way. The

What exactly do you mean by the default menus here? There are no
default menus in OSM, only menus in different instances of different

In the area that I was looking at (just south of Kirk Ireton in
Derbyshire) they appear to be different original maps, and it appears
that coverage of each layer is slightly different.

Hi Andy,
I get all of your points on this one, but just as we generally don't go and
remove other peoples custom tags, I think it would be a shame if we remove
available layers. Having historical background layers can attract people to
other projects (Open Historical Map). I've even used historic

Dealing with it from a UI perspective is difficult, and I get the
impression that's the main issue, not the coding once the UI is figured
out.
I'm not a UI designer, but I'll have a go at sketching a few ideas over the
next 7 days. It would be a shame to drop background layers where they are
I logged a bug with iD regarding the non-visibility of some items in the
background layer menu:

Hi Andy,
I would like to see as many layers as possible in iD and other editors. The
issue, in my opinion, is one of how best to present the available layers
(more on that later). So why more layers:
1). More layers = more choice and more potential sources for confirming the
presence or absence

At face value, no. They both show map sheets from the Ordnance Survey 1:25k
series (although the dates may differ slightly).
However if we look at the hosting of these tiles we find that one of these
