One other point is that a track layer will highlight all our homes in a very public way; at present you have to download something eg josm + GPX trackdata to see this at a meaningful scale (ie not Potlatch, for this purpose). This effectively reduces the casual browsers chance of noticing the possibility, but posting it publicly hangs out a banner. I am aware of at least one user with a node marking his home, so we don't all care, but it's worth considering first! Also, I don't really see the utility of this, even after reading the preceding posts. You can't use the data from a visual map of traces for much, and areas where doubt exists eg changes to roads, will have a mass of new & old to make a mess there...
