Release schedule for docker images

What is the release schedule for docker images? It doesn't look as if the version of 7.2 that is patched against the 2020 datetime bug (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/ReleaseNotes/FixDatetimexml2020) has been released as a docker image.

We have 2 weeks to mitigate this Splunk bug, and it's Christmas, which translates to 3 working days remaining. Can we expect a docker image to be released that we can use?

Not an answer to the question, but I have built our own image of the forwarder which is patched against this bug. This is the Dockerfile I used:
FROM splunk/universalforwarder:7.x.x
LABEL maintainer="your@email.here"
COPY datetime.xml /var/opt/splunk/etc/datetime.xml
