FYI, these are "tags" but they have the same meaning as in git. They 
aren't immutable and they actually are very often changed to point to a 
different layer.

e.g. 3.23 currently points at the same layer as 3.23.4, but a month ago 
it very likely was pointing at 3.23.3.

The only way to work around this limitation (if desired) is to use the 
digest value of the tag as argument, this guarantees that alpine:3.23 is 
the same from any machine and does not depend on when it was first 
pulled or whether --pull=always was passed.

I'm not sure this is a necessity here but wanted to bring this up :)

Cheers,
Quentin
