I tell ya, it is a CONSPIRACY of me KEZBOARD to prevent me from making meaningless^H^H^H^Hful comments.
Be that as it may...
The ESRI imagery is now officially available for direct OSM tracing. Previously I had used the imagery for this area, a nice but poorly-aligned winter leaf-off imagery to identify buildings hidden by the Bing z20 summery leaves-obscure-everything-and-then-some, and selectively add from Bing those simple yet ambiguous outlines.
Now I can trace directly from ESRI, particularly where the Bing outline is too unclear or sometimes utterly hidden, and then align as best as possible these additions to the Bing imagery, believed to be well orthorectified and aligned based on spot-checks.
The ESRI imagery is not consistently offset ref. Bing z20 here, thus every added building (mostly garages or sheds or equally meaningless) has been manually adjusted, often in different directions. This is most pronounced in hilly areas, or where ESRI winter images are taken at a significant angle.
With this, I have made a start in the woodsy leafy shady green areas where too many buildings are irregular, causing me to wish for the simplicity of the rectangular roof outlines of North Korea or something.That is what I wanted to typo in 255 characters or less before the proximity of the ' simple apostrophe to the Return key caused this comment to be prematurely submitted. Causing me to appear even more of an idiot than I pretend not to be.

For sale, used kezboard, many key markings absent, food crumbs within can feed a large family for a week.
