Unfortunately, the semi-release schedule of upstream project(s) 
makes things a bit semi-plannable ^^

I was looking forward to pre-build and push container images for 
the latest DMD release after the corresponding LDC release. Which 
eventually happened only a few weeks before what would have been 
the “approximate release date” of a future DMD release. 
Furthermore, I was also excited for a certain patch update of DMD 
to be released which hasn’t happened either (yet).

Please note that I’m only trying to explain why there hasn’t been 
a container image release. I do *not* want to shift blame to 
upstream maintainers; they have valid reasons that justify the 
current situation.
