Badge to show type/size/recency of base image used #5

Open FelixWeis opened 8 years ago

Seperate actual image size and base image size. Display if this is based on the recent popular base image (like alpine, debian or buildpack-deps:curl). This will reward people using automated builds or run their build continuously since many images on docker hub are build only once and have old base images. In that case docker's layer cake system which can reuse disk space for many images does not help.

Also recent images increase security!
