Compressing Go binaries with UPX prevents scanners from evaluating them, which reduces the accuracy of scanning results for example on Quay. The disadvantage is a substantial increase in image size: * gateway: 167MiB → 234MiB * globalnet: 41MiB → 76MiB * route-agent: 155MiB → 223MiB Signed-off-by: Stephen Kitt <[email protected]>
