Hello,
Making imagery more up-to-date won't solve the problem.
The real problem is that OSM never communicates with its
members, expecially not with those "armchair" mappers who do
it recreationally. They are not reading the email lists, which are
mostly geeky and obsessed with obscure details of mapping.
Until OSM has a method of communication aimed at ALL
members, these problems will continue.
I'm sure most "armchair mappers" never even saw Richard's
initial email.

i am not persuaded that these armchair mappers are paying attention. unless
there's a big warning "this imagery is X years old" that can't be
ignored, i think
the information will frequently be ignored.
i'd like a tag that we could use that has some editor support, it might
be the
case that all we need is a pop up dialog when there's a README tag that
says
something like "Read this before committing: <text of README tag>"
