There is one case we need to consider here:

we have an image with foobar.war;v1 with a certain sha.
Now the user creates a new image with foobar.war;v2.
For the user this is logically the same thing but with a
different version.
We should not treat that as different applications.
In this case we would rather need to record the fact
that v1 was replaced by v2 (by putting a tag) and
continue the already recorded metrics for the same
(logical) application.
