Relevant because 1) Flickr is calling their new collaboration "The Commons" (potential for a bit of name confusion there); and 2) didn't we talk to the Library of Congress about giving similar collections to us? All the images being donated are public domain though, so no reason why we couldn't scoop them up, but (as partnerships going) it would be nice to get a similar one going.
