+            This issue is automatically created as a gentle reminder to evaluate and update the tool versions for the container images built from this repository.
             The checklist below describes the steps that should be taken, and checked-off before this issue can be closed.
             Any decisions about purposefully not updating a tool to a newer version should be logged as issue comment.
             The general philosophy is to always include the latest tool versions and the latest [LTS](https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle) version of Ubuntu.
