I imagine this will eventually be what powers an instant media search integration that will completely replace the popular "Instant Images" plugin. I love that plugin as a simple Unsplash integration.

But the power and usefulness of this really will be in the quality of the images and their utility for marketing/blog/content purposes. That's where Unsplash has been so successful, they have really high-quality and useful images. If the combo of Openverse and the Photo directory can be integrated seamlessly with the Media Library AND the images are useful and high-quality only then is this a real stock imagery space disruptor.
