[HOT] Updates to DigitalGlobe imagery layers

[Darafei Praliaskouski]

Hello,

There used to be Digital Globe Vantage layer that was showing the date of
imagery acquisition. It was available in
https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index.
Will there be a replacement one, so a quick review of what's available is
possible?
