(I did not completely follow the rgy discussion on the net,
so my comments may not be new).

In SR10 the rgy database seems to be network-wide.
This is absolutely unacceptable if there are multiple groups of
machines which are under separate administrative management,
with different accounts, which must have different registries.
In SR9 this was perfectly possible.

On specific machines in our network, only a very limited number
of accounts is allowed of the many accounts that are defined on
other machines in the network.
There is no way to do this with the distributed global database.
