Imagine all your deployment pipelines will fail because docker images would be considered “os” and will ask for age on each build. That also begs a question what age is a robot account?

Cant they just say “we don’t support California, you should not use this if youre in California” and do nothing else? If someone in California uses it just say “we don’t support you, but here is our forums”.
