Provide a "future" tag which has the image update applied one or two weeks before the "stable" tag has the update applied.
Announce these updates in the CircleCI Discuss "Announcements" channel so customers can subscribe to those updates and test their images before stable is applied.
The abrupt change to "stable" means that customers cannot proactively test, plan, and adjust to upcoming updates. A "future" tag combined with an update in the CircleCI "Announcements" channel will significantly improve that story.

There is an "edge" tag that is used for this purpose.
The Windows image has three rolling tags to use. "stable", "edge", and "previous". New, and slightly untested releases first land in "edge". This serves as the "future" tag that was requested. Once this has been out and tested for a bit, the image gets promoted to the "stable" tag and the image that WAS stable gets demoted to "previous".
