Enhancement to switch CentOS and AlmaLinux LXD container image URLs from images.linuxcontainers.org to images.lxd.canonical.com. Open 431 days with no comments.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: This is a valid, clearly scoped enhancement from maintainer lengau to switch two URL constants (lines 186 and 192 of craft_providers/lxd/remotes.py) from images.linuxcontainers.org to images.lxd.canonical.com. The change is straightforward but has sat for 431 days with no comments or assignee. It remains a valid improvement that should stay open for someone to pick up.

Impact: 50 Quick Win: 45.0 Staleness: 75 Complexity: 10 Confidence: 70 Support Request: 0
