No Minimum Release Age Control for Docker Image Updates Exposes Supply Chain Risk

Docker image update tools have no way to enforce a minimum release age before pulling new versions, leaving users vulnerable to compromised packages that are caught within days of release. Recent incidents with compromised maintainer accounts demonstrate that new releases are the highest-risk window. A cooldown period before auto-updating — already used in other dependency managers — is absent from Docker workflows.
