According to the CKAN documentation:
[XLoader](https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-xloader) is the officially supported extension for automated uploads to the DataStore. It runs as a [background job](https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.11/maintaining/background-tasks.html) and supports type guessing and limiting the number of rows imported among other settings.
[DataPusher+ (DataPusher Plus)](https://github.com/dathere/datapusher-plus) is a next-generation replacement for the DataPusher, maintained by [datHere](https://dathere.com/). It focuses on increased performance and robustness and includes data pre-processing capabilities to infer fields, transform data, etc.
[AirCan](https://github.com/datopian/aircan) is a tool built on top of Apache Airflow maintained by [Datopian](https://www.datopian.com/) that among other functionalities supports automated data uploads to the DataStore.
[DataPusher](https://github.com/ckan/datapusher) is a legacy tool that is no longer maintained. It presents significant limitations so users are encouraged to migrate to one of the tools above.

Given this recommendation, why are the official CKAN Docker images still built with DataPusher enabled by default?
This feels counterintuitive and makes it difficult to fully rely on the documentation — it suggests that DataPusher should be avoided, yet it remains the default in the official deployment images.
The last version with Docker and XLoader is 2.10.1 !
