Sounds like a nice time - hope you had fun!

I don't think anything automatically does this comparison. But I think a few
releases have been made for specific security releases.

Yes, this would be nice to have. An issue was filed for it:

The salsa pipeline expires all artifacts (daily and release) after 7 days, but
nothing cleans up pettersson yet. Bastian said that he might have a script for
this somewhere. Noah would like to keep more dailies as long as it isn't
causing problems. I don't feel strongly either way.

Yes, that's the idea that most folks agreed on - a job in the salsa pipeline
should uncompress & upload the raw image without storing it as an artifact.
(I mean to go back and test some of the other things you wrote about, but ran
out of time tonight.)
