At the yearly level, true of any temporal data that we
enthusiastically map, like tenants of strip malls*, business opening
hours, speed limits, and turn restrictions.
It just seems like OSM is well-suited for use by schools. They have to
maintain data like bus routes, campus maps, etc., it's to both their
and their communities' advantage to make it free and accessible, and
it spreads the gospel of OSM.

i'm thinking that there's a case here for the core+layers model
we've occasionally talked about. the data is worthwhile, but maybe not
good for the core.
and yes, core+layers could logically apply to POI data if we wanted
to go that way.
