I hadn't heard of Buildpacks before, sounds very interesting.

In particular the out of order layer replacement. I'm interested in switching to Buildpack for the images I maintain for my home cluster. Would make upgrading my base image so much simpler compared to rebuilding all the other images! I read a bunch of docs/articles since reading your comment yesterday but couldn't find any mention of this, or better yet an example. Are there some docs I missed? (I didn't look into the spec.)

Nevermind, I realized that rebase is exactly that. I had misunderstood the docs.

A few tips on rebase:

(1) If you want to rebase without pulling the images first (so there's no appreciable data transfer in either direction), you currently have to pass `--publish`.

(2) If you need to rebase against your own copy of the runtime base image (e.g., because you relocated the upstream copy to your own registry), you can pass `--run-image <ref>`.
