Avoid proposing updates from docker/image:2 to docker/image:20241024

Tell us more.

Even though 20241024 is an integer and greater than 2, it generally means that such docker image pushes two different tag styles. One using the semver major, and another using a nightly pattern.

Such nightly pattern can be easily and almost unmistakenly inferred. When detected, Renovate can compare against the style of the current version and avoid proposing an update in case they don't match. For example:

Renovate should propose:

• From docker/image:2 to docker/image:3
• From docker/image:20241024 to docker/image:20241025

But Renovate should NOT propose:

• From docker/image:2 to docker/image:20241024

What do you think?

I am willing to contribute this improvement.

I would prefer to keep it simple like proposed here: #20772

Agreed!
