Problem 1: I have no idea how long docker-hub and the rabbitmq people will offer these outdated docker images for download. Maybe it is advisable to pull and save a copy.

Problem 2: This could (as it did with me, but I chose to update with the -d flag, so my own fault) drive people into severe trouble, if they do upgrade their production server or desktop from 22.04 to 24.04.1 and thus break rabbitmq-server and make their stored data unavailable. So it should be a stopper for do-release-upgrade and at least warn people before upgrading as long as this isn't fixed. 24.04.1 is announced to be released in two weeks, and .1 usually enables to upgrade LTS-to-LTS.

Problem 3: It is possible that this workaround does not smoothly run within LXD containers in current 24.04. Today I ran into the problem that after upgrading to 24.04 docker cannot be run within LXD containers anymore, because of some strange kernel/apparmor/runc problem, although there is a simple, but not obvious fix for that. Some people say that podman cannot be run either because of the same problem.

I was able fix all these problems, but took me some time, and it might overstrain average users.
