Just read this after sending my reply to Oliver and I think you're
right, also think the http://openstreetmap.de/ or even
http://openstreetmap.us/ are right also.
If we are to render a version of OSM then it should just be seen as a
"reference implementation" of the DB and not some holy grail.

Not at all. I am trying to help you by communicating the fact that
this change is upcoming, and I am collating responses and feeding them
back to John. I simply noted that this request has been made
previously and it was rejected on the basis that the OSM.org website's
primary focus is to spread the message of how OSM is different. There
are some people within the community that think we should not provide
a map on the home screen and instead do something like
http://openstreetmap.de/ or even http://openstreetmap.us/
I will feed these comments back, and ask for the issue to be
reconsidered, but please this is by no means a guarantee that thing
will be changed.
Regards,
Rob
p.s. This redesign is a proposal from John of the MapBox team. It will
ultimately be accepted or rejected by the OSM Foundation/working
groups. Anyone can propose changes, so if you have the coding skills
to make this change then feel free to do it and add a "pull request"
on github.
