• Think about promoting 0.0.0-dev to rc to catch image ref issue before release. See comment below.
• When raising PRs against release branches: Error: Cannot downgrade from 24.7.0 to 0.0.0-pr602
• More replacements needed in the release branch: https://github.com/stackabletech/hbase-operator/pull/536/commits/d494b6819af30e653f21f0a56e8f776d26ec08e4
• Remember nix updates (ideally automatically)

We're discovering images are not available after the release. The 0.0.0-dev version exists, so the pre-release testing passes.

Maybe we need to have rc tags to see that before the release.
