Hello Michael.

Thank you for efforts! And congrats! :)

> the imagery will only be released in the context of HOT projects
AFAIK, imagery are now released in geo-tiff format, so target area is very
limited.
It is very suitable for this context.

If they publish more broader area, and published in TMS or other format in
future,
we should consider such a situation.

At least now, I'm very happy to hear this statement.
Thanks again!
