[Landsat-pds] Syncing AWS and USGS Collection 1 archives

I’ve noticed that Landsat on AWS is mostly “Pre-collection”. But coming from the USGS archive (e.g. Earth Explorer), I was expecting to find the same Collection-1 archive on AWS. Will the AWS archive be brought into sync with the USGS archive? Over what timeframe?
https://landsat.usgs.gov/may-10-2017-landsat-4-8-collection-1-processing-complete <https://landsat.usgs.gov/may-10-2017-landsat-4-8-collection-1-processing-complete> 

As an example, for path 047 row 027 there is Collection-1 data that goes back to 2013, but the Collection-1 data on AWS is just to 03/2017 (https://landsatonaws.com/L8/047/027/ <https://landsatonaws.com/L8/047/027/>)

Scenes after 03/2017 match the Collection-1 scheme:
LC08_L1TP_047027_20170502_20170515_01_T1

But all earlier scenes are pre-collection
LC08_L1TP_047027_20170331_20170414_01_T1

Thanks for any insight!
