Hi, Robin,

> "I guess a monthly generation / release would be more than enough."

As far as I can see from [1] and [2], all "boxes" and OCI (Docker)
images are generated daily
(with one exception for the image in the official DockerHub library,
which is generated weekly).

If image generation is cheap (i.e. it can be fully automated and
doesn't involve costly human beings:D),
then we can be consistent:)

Side not-so-serious note: of course, for any practical purpose there
is almost no difference between "the latest" and "one month old".
But, that irrational feeling—"oh! I'm at the cutting edge!":)) I.e.
the daily generated image is more attractive to users (guilty! myself
included:D).

> "Anyway, sorry for the long read 0:)"

Totally off-topic: anything that is easier to read and understand than
the Open Group (POSIX) standards should not be considered as "long
read" in a technical community:)
