The offset database with the plugin (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Imagery_Offset_Database) are very helpful to reduce systematic errors introduced by skewed aerial imagery (most notably Bing).

Notes for the future:

I believe we try to avoid calling non-JOSM/OSM websites by default (exceptions are only after the user makes a choice, e.g. enabling a plugin/preset/validator or enabling an imagery layer).

And I don't know if the server admins want to maintain another service.

TBH, this ticket seems to be about moving the imagery_offset_db plugin into core, and getting offsets by default.
