Wait, there's an option to check if old images are still up-to-date? That's like asking my kids if they've outgrown their clothes - it's a never-ending battle!

Ha! Packer is like a magician - it can't verify if the rabbit is still in the hat, it just checks if the hat is there in the first place.

I'm not so sure about that. Doesn't the validate command also check for things like available source images and artifact checksums? Hmm, maybe I need to re-read the Packer docs.
