I think this is a too limited view of the options the OSM community has.
I in particular see:
* a wide range of possibilities to offer iD on osm.org but not exactly
what is being released without creating and maintaining a complete
fork.
* a wide range of options for regulatory measures, not only on
the 'developer behaviour regulation' front (which i have serious
trouble with) but also on the technical level by requiring certain
modularization so things like presets or validation rules can be easily
replaced or disabled by deployments.
On a general note and w.r.t. what Markus wrote:

it seems clear to me that any tool that leads mappers to unconsciously
perform automated edits could and should be blocked from write access
to the API and accordingly should not be available on osm.org. I don't
know if iD in its current configuation does this but this seems so
obvious and self evident as a principle that it is not even necessary
to codify this into written policy IMO.
