Hello,
I recently created a few Github Issues 
<https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/issues/3099> for this but was 
notified I should ask in this group for your opinion first, before an 
issues can be created.

I think it would be useful for a lot of people, if the projects with docker 
images, would provide tags for all major, minor and patch versions.
For example, right now with node_exporter, these tags are supported:

   - v1.8.2 - Version 1.8.2
   - v1.8.1 - Version 1.8.1
   - v1.7.0 - Version 1.7.0
   - latest - Version 1.8.2

I would propose a tag system like this:

   - v1.8.2 - Version 1.8.2
   - v1.8.1 - Version 1.8.1
   - v1.8 - Version 1.8.2
   - v1 - Version 1.8.2
   - latest - Version 1.8.2

This would allow for pinning to specific versions and having updates 
automatically done, depending on what changes you are fine with unattended.

User A might pin to "latest" as they don't care and want all the updates.
User B might pin to "v1" as they are fine with new features but no breaking 
changes.
User C might pin to "v1.8.2" as they don't want any changes.

An example of projects implementing this would be MySQL 
<https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql> or Python <https://hub.docker.com/_/python>
.

Thank you for considering this.
