Bug Description
EIT is baking out right now, and so no EIT images are available. Is there some way we can make this information available to our users? Do we need a "coverage" or "operations" log as well. Perhaps this information could be included as a feature/event catalog.

A simple approach would be to just generate blank images with the words "bake-out" every X minutes/hours. This way the system would automatically display those images. This wouldn't be efficient, but it would be pretty easy.
In the long run though a coverage and operations database as we've discussed in previous meetings would certainly be useful. There are two ways this could be used as well:
1) During image requests, the coverage database could be queried and if something special is occurring, that could affect the result. The client-side would then know how to deal with the special results and could, for example, display and "EIT Bake-out" image instead of a tiled image.
2) Another possibility would be for the client-side to make coverage requests along-side of image requests, possibly fetching and storing much larger windows of time. This way the coverage/operation image could be checked on the client-side before any request is made to determine when an image could even exist for the desired time.
