Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.
As of the last few days, I am getting OS 1:50k background mapping when zoomed in to areas with no detailed coverage in the Bing aerial imagery. Where there is detailed Bing imagery, that shows instead. I presume this is a mistake/feature on Microsoft's part, and not a change of heart by the Ordnance Survey, and that we shouldn't be tracing the OS data. (which I'm not). I am getting this in both JOSM, and also in Potlatch when I use the (default) Bing imagery background layer. An example is at Coulter, North Lanarkshire - http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=55.58837&lon=-3.54917&zoom=15 (although if one zooms in to z16 or above in Potlatch the OS map disappears, which it doesn't in JOSM) I am using the basic Landsat layer as a workaround so as not to be tracing over OS 1:50k maps, but maybe not everybody will (know) to do this.
