That is fine - we explicitly want the content to be changing in this
case, as our goal is to make sure we always build with latest rawhide
content.

We have other CI jobs using the stable fedora release images

None the less, this is what users will commonly use - it is pretty
rare to find people using a full registry hostname when referencing
image.

With docker.io/library/fedora being labelled as an official repo, 
I think it is surprising that it is so outdated and inconsistent
with what's on registry.fp.org. It leaves a bad impression of
Fedora's quality with users who try it :-(
