   @kaxil Indeed - it's not clear, but I think if we name something ' 'release' 
then it **must** have packaged and signed source code for it. I think that part 
is crystal clear (fron the 'release policy'). 
   
   > DEFINITION OF "RELEASE"ΒΆ
   
   Generically, a release is anything that is published beyond the group that 
owns it. For an Apache project, that means any publication outside the 
development community, defined as individuals actively participating in 
development or following the dev list.
   
   More narrowly, an official Apache release is one which has been endorsed as 
an "act of the Foundation" by a PMC.
   
   
   My interpretation is that Dockerfile is a source code and part of official 
source releases. Where Docker Image in the repo is a convenience binary (again 
definition of it can be found in the Release policy). 
   
   Helm Chart is a bit of mixture. But no matter what classification it gets 
(both binary package or sources) it has to be re-buildable and TESTABLE by the 
user using the sources released providing the user has access to appropriate 
platforms and tools. 
   
   Is 3rd party binary image 'platform or tool' - I think not, unless it has 
some kind of 'officially maintained' status. Clearly Python image in DockerHub 
has an 'official status' - it is part of the 'Official images' programme by 
DockerHub, same debian-buster for example. Is astronomerinc pgbouncer an 
'official image'? If you apply for such status at DockerHub - sure. If not - I 
don't think this is something we can our user should base their images on 
(especially that - like in the real use case I am waiting for your comment 
about - it cannot be used legally).
