This reminds me of several years ago when I was mapping around Joplin, Missouri. At the time, Mapbox had just released 6- and 3-inch imagery for much of the U.S., but I was staring at nothing but clouds in any of the available layers. At the time, Mapbox had a form you could fill out requesting better imagery for a specific locality. They would sometimes patch in a different selection of imagery or even consider it in an eventual purchase of higher-quality imagery. I don’t know if they still have a program like that though.
Another time, I was mapping roads in southeastern Indiana, but the only reasonably up-to-date layer was the state’s orthoimagery. Normally that leaf-off layer was very useful for mapping in the woods. But leaf-off imagery is taken during the winter, and the area had just seen a heavy snowfall. At first I thought the plain white background was a bug in iD.
