Docker lets security bug sniffer dogs off the leash at container images

We do this now. But we deploy the known vulnerable containers anyway - it's just too hard to patch everything and retest.

We do try to patch important stuff. So, for example, a vulnerability in tiff parsing we'd let through because we never parse tiffs in production. There's risk here of course, but it's part of using Docker in a microservice environment.
