Creating new OS images by copying old OS images introduces some risks, e.g.

divergence of the code in an OS image and the code an GitHub
undocumented modifications of the code or settings on the OS image
issues with reproducibility
requiring sharing of large image files
trackability of problems and their origins
To tackle this, we could use a toolchain to build OS images every time we make changes, e.g., https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen (It also has a github action version).
