Unbalanced prioritization in the images buildbot? (main branch deprioritized too much)

Hi,

OpenWrt builds and deliver package fixes continuosly from the snapshot builds.

You're not expected to do this, we send out security advisories if its
important, where you can usually find recommended mitigations, like for
example:

 https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements/14
 https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-announce/2022-October/000033.html

most of the fixes can be handled with `opkg update; opkg upgrade`

Cheers,
