Bug Description

podman is installed with a timer (/lib/systemd/system/podman-auto-update.timer) which frequently removing unused (or not yet used) locally fetched/built images. This is a bad idea to say the least. I wonder what was the reason for providing such timer, and enabling it by default. Disappearing images without a trace is not what I could expect from well-designed package. Please, get rid of it, or make it optional for ppl who think it's a good thing. Thanks.

If it works as described it easily breaks development workflows. If I build images locally for testing I don't want them to disappear until I remove them manually.

Even though it is fired once a day, it still can potentially remove not-yet-used images.
