Hi, I change my image at least once per day. Every single day. I have automatic jobs that create an up to date images the way I want them, and I simply take that one whenever I feel like it.
This helps me push my code to a repository, and have any setup easily reconstruct-able. If a piece of code does not make it in even a playground repository, it is probably not worth having it around anyway. For me, it is a matter of principle.
