I don't think the compatibility for downstream users is going to be a big
problem:
 1. Most users don't need to modify the Pulsar image in significant way
 2. If they do, they won't be using the "latest" tag, but rather a specific
version
 3. Users who are dependent on the Ubuntu base image can stay on the 3.0
LTS release branch for the entire LTS lifespan

I would avoid supporting 2 images at the same time because it would make it
very hard to properly test them both.
