   Good point.

   Also at one time, there was talk of how to declare imagery as 
outdated for a given area.   There's the problem of detecting when new 
aerials become available and automatically using them instead of the 
outdated designation.

    Someone here had gone through many reversions where the outdated 
aerial was showing a roundabout which had since been converted to a 
traffic light.  They had a perfect example where one of the editors 
showed "Not a roundabout" over the aerial in large letters at that 
intersection.
