Docker apologizes for trying to pull a bait and switch that people pushed back against hard enough for them to reconsider:

Fuck Docker.
Projects need to self-host their container registries. You can get a perfectly cromulent server for a container registry for the money Docker asks for Teams.
Also, I saw suggestions #FOSS projects move to GitHub Container Registry. "Hey, we just got bitten in the arse by centralization, let's move to another centralized service!" 🤦♀️
There's lots and lots of capacity in the free software mirrors, all you need to figure out is how to make something that is reasonably easy to mirror and then distribute the load. A bit of thinking, but no need for each project paying lots for bandwidth and fast servers to serve bulk data.

Yup, I am personally involved in the team that hosts tracker, inital seeder, as well as the cluster serving plain http downloads for Debian images. At zero monetary cost to Debian.
