Hi Mohammed & Wikibase Tech team, Going forward it sounds like the team has decided to adopt the practice (not debating best or otherwise, but here only a practice that has been choosen) of "stable tags" also known as "tagging a servicing release". https://stevelasker.blog/2018/03/01/docker-tagging-best-practices-for-tagging-and-versioning-docker-images/
I.E. 1.36 is a hypothetical stable tag (a service release). Some small bugs need to be fixed, and are non-breaking changes. The team pushes an updated 1.36 service release (the tag remains the same, but the image has been updated and incorporates the small fixes). A company or service that uses 1.36 tag can expect not to have to update their FROM line in a Dockerfile (hopefully) since the expectation is that 1.36 is considered "stable". Is that the practice or strategy that the teams have decided to do going forward?
