Since you have experience writing your own registry, do you think it would be difficult to support IPFS (or a similar distributed storage technology) for pulling images? I'm thinking HTTP for metadata and IPFS for storage could reduce the load on registries significantly, but I know very little about registries.

However, the registry protocol (i.e. the Open Containers Distribution API) only knows HTTP, so you'd have to use a HTTP-to-IPFS proxy to use the IPFS backing store with existing clients.
