These images are derived from Eric Timmons's (daewok) CL Docker images, with
some improvements to add a few more features and better follow the guidelines
of the Official Images program. They were moved to community orgs in order to
encourage more community participation and try to ensure the images survive if
he ever has less time to dedicate to them.
These images were originally developed by Eric Timmons (@daewok on Github and
Docker) to provide a common development environment for his teammates. The
first image was an omnibus-like image (similar to the current `cl-devel`
image). He then began actually understanding Docker best practices and
developed the individual implementation images. He used these images largely
for CI/CD purposes.

In late 2020, he became aware of the CLF's desire to better support CI tooling
for multiple CL implementations as well as the urgent need to get ASDF's CI
running again after the crash of its Jenkins server. These images were quickly
adopted into ASDF's CI pipeline. The CLF then offered to host the images on a
CLF maintained Docker Hub organization, with the desire to make them more
visible, more trusted, and more resilient in case daewok was ever unable to
continue maintaining them.
