Problem
Specific: We were using
node:18-alpine3.17
and surprised to find out, when we wanted to use the latest node version 18.20.2, that the tag had last been updated 5 month ago (src), because support was removed in #2007, even though Alpine 3.17 itself is still supported until 2024-11-22 (src).Following the link chain in the PR to previous PRs it seems the policy has been "support last two minor versions" (of at least Alpine) for some time, but this doesn't seem to be transparent in the docs (or I missed it). So, currently it's not clear when we need to update the tag to be on a version which still receives updates.
Abstract: Support policy unclear (at least for Alpine)
Solution
Make apparent support policy "last two minor versions" or something alike transparent in the docs, probably in the README.
