`mainline` and `latest` are stuck on 1.27

[denschub]

Bug Overview

#981 bumped stable from 1.26 to 1.28, but mainline and latest are still on 1.27.

Expected Behavior

I'd expect mainline to be on 1.28, too.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

# docker run -it nginx:mainline nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.27.5

Environment Details

• Version/release of Docker and method of installation: n/a, all.
• Version of the Docker NGINX image or specific commit: mainline and latest
• Target deployment platform: n/a
• Target OS: n/a

Additional Context

Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding the intent here - but it feels counterintuitive that mainline is behind stable, so I assume this is an oversight.

[oxpa]

In nginx the convention is to use odd versions for mainline and even versions for stable releases.
Also the only real difference between 1.27.5 and 1.28.0 is a bugfix in quic which will be release in mainline with 1.29.x release.

1.27.5 is the current mainline version of nginx. I see no reason to build mainline image with stable nginx.
You may want to re-open this issue at nginx repository itself if you think stable version should always be smaller than the mainline.

Thank you for the explanation!
