As outlined in the [previous release](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.18.0), we are no longer publishing Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. On top of that, we have also removed the `latest-py3` tag. Please see [the announcement in the upgrade notes for 1.18.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1180).
