Keep it on, for the same reasons that it got put on in the first place -
that it shows what you can do with elevation data "OpenContourMap"?), and
with neat transparent lines to show routes ("OpenCycleRouteMap"?).

But I'd also like there to be an open, straight Mapnik (ie no contour
overlay and no neat transparent route overlays) cycle-oriented map, to be
improved by the crowd. (Ditto a public transport map). I think a *few* of
these would be good for the project, to allow for some crowd rendering, and
to give a basis for individualistic/variation rendering.
