Thanks the answer,
I agree, sha256 based tags seems to be more safe and bumping versions
only after some tests.
Let's say we have multiple hadoop docker images:
apache/hadoop:3.2.0
apache/hadoop:3.1.2
apache/hadoop:2.9.2
apache/hadoop:2.8.5
apache/hadoop:2.7.7
If I understood well, your proposal is the following:
In case of any security issue in centos/jdk, or in case of any bug in
the apache/hadoop-runner base image (we have a few shell/python scripts
there):
1) We need to wait until the next release to fix them (3.2.1) which
means all the previous images would be unsecure / bad forever (but still
available?)
OR
2) in case of a serious problem a new release can be created from all
the lines (3.2.1, 3.1.3, 2.9.3, 2.8.6) with the help of all the release
managers. (old images remain the same).
But on the other hand the image creation would be as easy as activating
a new profile during the release. (As a contrast: Using separated repo a
new branch would be created and the version in the Dockerfile would be
adjusted).

ps: for the development (non published images) I am convinced that the
optional docker profile can be an easier way to create images. Will
create a similar plugin execution for this Dockerfile:
