Context: Issue renovatebot/renovate#29919 (closed, 41 comments): ### Describe the proposed change(s). Renovate in some cases is creating PRs to update dependencies where it's actually a downgrade. It appears to be isolated to docker versioning, which is used for the docker datasource and also for github actions. Discussion: #29901 Unfortunately we are not yet able to reproduce it Update: we have added code to suppress such workarounds and log a message WARN: Unexpected downgrade detected: skipping instead, so I have updated the title of this Issue to match
