Problem to solve
The Package stage allows you to publish, consume, and discover images, all in one place. Users publish and pull images using GitLab CI/CD, the command line, or the GitLab API. Organizations who heavily utilize CI/CD to create and publish image tags can utilize the expiration policies feature to automatically delete stale and unused tags. However, it is not presently clear what the result of the expiration policy running will be for a specific tag.
