Heh, I guess we have somewhat different interpretations of "a while" :) The images on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/_/debian) were last updated ~24 days ago. We try to refresh them every ~30 days or when there's a major security issue / stable release that warrants an earlier rebuild. We don't rebuild them more often than that because the downstream effect is really large every time, due to the way image build cache works, so ~30 days is the compromise we came up with to try and ensure the images are reasonably fresh. ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
