What is the image retention/removal policy?

Looking at 7eefa0c I assume that Python images that reached their end of life (EOL) will be removed.

I guess the same is true for the Debian version.

Is it guaranteed that images will stay on Dockerhub until the EOL is reached?

commented

@martin-thoma removing them there doesn't remove them from the registry, only from the build system, which means they receive no further update even if the base image has updates.

Thanks for the clarification 👍

But when are images removed from the registry?

commented

It's not guaranteed, but our policy thus far has been to avoid removing any old content unless there's an overriding concern (maintainer request, etc).
