I have been of the same opinion as far as upgrades go.

I think we are stepping ahead of ourselves here a bit. We need to figure
out the rolling upgrade story first and see if registry is actually
useful or not there as well.

The feedback from operator sessions also indicated that some ops do use
it that way (
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-May/094034.html ).

Overall, I do think registry is a bit of overhead and it would be nice
to actually deprecate it but we do need facts/technical research first.

I guess they could all talk back to the central DB server but currently that would be over the public Internet for us. Not really an issue, we can work around it.
