Oh I missed that. Maybe we should use "latest" to avoid bumping the
version every 6 months.

fwiw we have different versions:

tests/docker/dockerfiles/fedora-cris-cross.docker:FROM fedora:latest
tests/docker/dockerfiles/fedora-i386-cross.docker:FROM fedora:29
tests/docker/dockerfiles/fedora.docker:FROM fedora:29

In 62559b916 "tests: update Fedora i386 cross image to Fedora 29", Daniel said:

    Using the "latest" tag is not a good idea because this changes what
    release it points to every 6 months. Together with caching of docker
    builds this can cause confusion where CI has cached & built with Fedora
    N, while a developer tries to reproduce a CI problem with Fedora N + 1,
    or vica-verca.

But at the same time, Daniel bumped f28 to f29 in commit 19a9978db1.

It's confusing, do we need some stability or follow the latest?
