We're working to find a way forward w.r.t the AMP egagement - should
have some news on that front in the coming weeks/months.

in the mean time, we will continue to push images outside of the
marketplace, from the buildsystems that are updated on a predictable
cadence and with clear origin. I dont see that pattern going away for AWS.
