Old Container Images unmaintained?

First of all, thank you @mumoshu for your work on the old ARC controller.

I am one of the many users of the old ARC controller since we rely on labels on our local GHES deployment.

The relevant discussion has not seen anything but doubling down on a single label solution. At least give the user the option to choose if we want multiple labels or not. https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/discussions/3340

Now to my question, especially, are the old images still maintained since they have not seen actions runner updates or rebuilds in a long time.

Relevant container images:

• ghcr.io/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-dind-rootless:ubuntu-22.04 (updated 10 months ago)
• ghcr.io/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller (v0.27.6; updated 1 year ago)

I am thinking of the following updates on a regular basis:

• actions-runner-dind-rootless
  • updated actions runner inside the image
  • update to ubuntu 24.04
• actions-runner-controller
  • dependency updates and rebuilds using the latest go versions (bug and security fixes)

Start by tracing the build and release configuration for the two listed images: actions-runner-dind-rootless:ubuntu-22.04 and actions-runner-controller:v0.27.6. Check how runner, Ubuntu, dependency, and Go-version updates are produced; done means the requested images are updated and rebuilt with the latest intended components.
