On: GitHub Package Registry

[paulddraper]

True.

I think people are pretty well accustomed to that though. Dockerhub, AWS ECR, Google Cloud, etc.

Yes and no. It affects software that's installed via things like Kubernetes pod definitions. You need to "relocate" images to the correct registry in that case.

This is a sufficient hassle that one of my colleagues maintains an entire tool devoted entirely to this purpose: https://github.com/pivotal/image-relocation

Point being that Github doesn't really add any problem that doesn't exist in spades.
