Maybe that is indeed a good idea - we could have a page that shows all 
available tile layers, and by a simple mouse click you can add any of 
these layers to your OSM experience (to be saved in user settings or in 
your cookie). The default list would still only be a small number of 
curated layers but there could be a "further map layers..." link that 
leads to a very large and not-at-all-curated "contrib" list so that 
anyone who wants can customise their experience.
