could you give details about a use case where mapnik needs the osm_id? 
The "official" styles do not contain a reference to osm_id, it's an 
internal thing in the database.

Or is it going into using osm directly as a datasource instead of postrgres?

Might be worth being clarified on the wiki page. Currently it reads as 
mapnik is broken in general.
