The flipside is that if we release QEMU 2.12 with fedora:27, then for as long
as the 2.12 stable branch exists, dockers tests run on that branch will have a
consistent target and will be unlikely to break. If we use fedora:latest,
then every time a new Fedora comes out there's non-trivial chance that docker
builds on all the stable branches will all break due to some new glibc change.
Sticking with explicit named versions is a big win in this respect IMHO.

Daniel
