The Landsat default is more historic than really useful nowadays. It was useful to get coastlines in far north and south.
I suggest we drop Landsat from the defaults, since MapQuest OpenAerial which we already have as a default performs better in all regions of the world. Then we have room to add the MapBox imagery which gives us three imagery styles again, something I would consider a healthy selection.
Normally an imagery layer that only has Hi-Res imagery for the US would not qualify for the default list but since they say they're planning to add world-wide coverage I think we should welcome their offer; currently there are regions where we exclusively rely on Bing for high resolution coverage and I would very much like to see a future where OSM did not depend on one supplier alone.
