As part of other questions I've independently submitted to LPI after your
letter, I've inquired if a date range in the form "earliest date to
present" would meet their requirements. If okay, then we can simply list
all the datasets with "6 Dec 2015 to present" and mappers are free to pluck
out whichever bits of data whenever they like without needing to do
anything further.

Agreed. As a mapper something easy to type is ideal such as lpi_imagery,
lpi_basemap, but I'm not overly fussed. I don't know how much I would use
the Base map though since I generally favor on the ground verification. the
Imagery will be very useful for more accurate tracing.
