Yeah, but it comes with sources for rebuilding the image :-)

Yeah, gitlab is a bunch more explicit, and you need to do your caching
of the setup you want yourself.

We do that too. The different docker images we have is for different
testing (new/old distros, and the cross build chain in userspace
conflicts, so need separate docker images for that). Aside from those
cases where we need different images because they're incompatible, we
do reuse them.

For the kernel there's much less of these userspace problems, so one
image should be good enough for all jobs.
