I don´t gamble, a religious objection.
However I have been to quite a number of places that no-one is expected to
go to again. We´ve turned off the beaten track to map some odd spots just
for OSM, to get that last bit of data, and we have no intention of
returning. These places have landsat as the best aerial imagery available
in Jan 2011, so don´t expect to see any aerial imagery used as an update.
Secondly my son doing mineral exploration has been to a number of spots to
which no-one will return - places where they found nothing under the
ground.
I´m not naming any - making a list will make people deliberately make sure
they get that last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

You can check the diffs between the CC-by-SA data and the ODbL data when
the new set exists and work out how long it takes to get the data.
