First of all, this builds on top of [1]. As I was testing some builds in local containers I noticed that when one does: $ make -C ci ci-list-images it will return images that we no longer support in lcitool nor in libvirt, but one can still pull them and run a build in those. So I created a Python script that compares the current registry with what we support in lcitool and if the= re images of distro we no longer support, it will flag those (see below). Now, I wonder where the proper place to run this would be, originally I creat= ed for our GitLab containers and ran it during the sanity-check phase [2]. But having it marked as a "soft" failure didn't seem correct. So I'm proposing to run this within the context of the "refresh" script. I also pondered whether I should go ahead and rewrite the refresh script to Python as well (like this series does for list-images.sh), but I actually like how straight forward the refresh script is, unlike list-images, it would not look better in Python for sure. The 3 resulting script hierarchy isn't perfec= t, but I'd like to hear some comments first.
