This is about removing tiled map sets from the lists used in editors (largely to simplify the list of imagery and remove the confusing pairs of NPE, 1st series & 7th series maps.<br><br></div>The out-of-copyright maps scanned by OSMers will remain at <a href="http://ooc.openstreetmap.org">ooc.openstreetmap.org</a> and can be manually added to editor imagery lists for those who still want them.
