python:3.14.3-alpine3.23 and python:3.14-alpine3.23 are not the same

[osklil]

As if right now, 2026-02-06T07:00:00Z, there is something strange with the images for Python.
The index page https://hub.docker.com/_/python, indicates that the following tags refer to the same image:

3.14.3-alpine3.23, 3.14-alpine3.23, 3-alpine3.23, alpine3.23, 3.14.3-alpine, 3.14-alpine, 3-alpine, alpine

The link they point to is https://github.com/docker-library/python/blob/ce782e2435387d50d3a21a29c76d0eb4115057d3/3.14/alpine3.23/Dockerfile.

However, if you check the tags on https://hub.docker.com/_/python/tags or use docker pull, the tags refer to the following image digests:

• 3.14.3-alpine3.23 → sha256:e43b76c7e4a8a4621f4e84fd76e0dfb473eda5cc05fc58b2d4d640338eda48b1

• 3-alpine → sha256:14558bb88225c495de95c0796c22de2c708500e48e9a6b84ce6b729d590fcb65

Why aren't 3.14.3-alpine3.23 and 3.14-alpine3.23 the same image?
