Right, and in case if we have multiple releases, say 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and so on,
and in parallel, we could have, say 3.11-withClosures , 3.12-withClosures ...
and fix is blessed only for images with closure support - we need a
clever tool which can deliver this fix only to those images and ignore
it for the rest.
