Stop producing ros-variant images #84
Description
There are other options for ros-variant images at https://github.com/osrf/docker_images and https://github.com/sloretz/ros_oci_images
We should focus on the CI and production use cases.
In my view, the ros2 variants are for education and prototyping, not for production applications. In production, the application should specify all of its dependencies explicitly, and not depend on any preinstalled bundle of "standard" packages.
For example, various things like rclpy or the ros2cli may not be needed in a given application - space can be saved by not installing them.
On that note, but maybe a separate issue:
My latest work on these base images is at https://github.com/polymathrobotics/oci/tree/main/ros/ready, I'd like to migrate that here for a more "official" location.
