I realized that my answer might not fully explain things, and may have
conflated the top level "latest" tag with "daily/latest", so let me
explain the different images in a little more detail.  There are two
"latest" images: the latest daily and the latest release image.  In both
cases, "latest" is just a symlink to something: either the latest daily
image or the latest release image.  The release images are no different
from the daily images, so there's no actual notion of building a release
image; all images are build every day as part of the daily pipeline, and
any given daily image build is a candidate to be tagged as a release
image.
