Hi Troy, thanks for taking a look at this.

I see that both for 8-stream and 9-stream there are "latest" versions
for all the architectures and the different types of cloud images;
is the implementation complete? may those "latest" names be used
officially used in various projects?

It has been implemented, and as you can see, it has been successfully run once.
I am waiting until it has successfully run twice before declaring it complete.  That will happen when todays compose images get pushed out, which should happen sometime tomorrow.

We had a successful second release, I'm declaring this feature working.
You should now be able to point to the "latest" images and sha-sums and always get the latest versions.

Examples:
https://cloud.centos.org/centos/9-stream/x86_64/images/CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-latest.x86_64.qcow2
https://cloud.centos.org/centos/9-stream/x86_64/images/CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-latest.x86_64.qcow2.SHA256SUM
Those currently point to the 20230605.0 images, but next week they will point to next weeks images.
