Despite the title of the FAQ, this is not just about private repos, it's about public ones too. Having to change the path to public repos (which could reside in different documentation, third-party tutorials, scripts, etc.) within 30 days is a reasonable thing to feel disrupted by.

Yeah. I don't host anything on their repo, but now I have 30 days to go through all every Docker image I use and check if they have moved. This is extremely disruptive for me (and something I'll remember next time I'm considering something offered by Docker Inc or dependent on them).

Consider it a wake up call that you should have been doing that on a regular basis already.

Has Docker ever garantied that if a project closed is account another hostile one wouldn't be able to reuse the name? Outside of name takover, you could have been pulling abandonned non updated images for weeks/months without knowing it.
