Landing this should be straightforward.

You mean something like

?

This would require ci-templates enforcing that the image in the forked
registry is up to date when merging. That was my original idea for the
ci-templates issue above, but there was resistance. Maybe the benefit of
not having to rebuild the image in the main project as well could change
things though.
