51 ### Containerization for Preservation
52
53 Because the idea here is "containerization for preservation" rather
54 than "containerization for deployment", we don't rebuild the images
55 regularly. Every time one of these images is rebuilt, it pulls
56 the latest packages from the system package manager repository,
57 which rebuilds that layer, which causes new layers to be built on
58 top of it, bloating everything. Since they are not used as servers,
59 and because they are containerized, the need to update system packages
60 regularly to fix critical (exploitable) defects is reduced.
