Description of question or suggestion

The ubuntu finance (not dev-tools) has gone largely by the wayside in place of the archlinux package. The ubuntu finance image was put in place as a proof of concept that multiple platforms could be used as so desired by end-user; but I personally don't have any demand for it at the moment.

The ubuntu-specific problems are mounting: including an unreported (by me) hledger-flow binary issue that prevents imports and now needing to maintain dfi's ROOT build w/ C++20 support on ubuntu (#237 #238).

It's possible to pigeonhole the two dfi platforms into only dev-tools and finance only where finance is the facade for a single underlying platform (Arch Linux) but I do like the concept of multiple options.

TBD.
