[keycloak-dev] Docker Protocol?

I'm not sure we'd like to have a Docker registry specific protocol added
directly to Keycloak. Seems like Docker registry should rather get their
act together and comply with existing protocols rather than invent their
own.

We did have an idea of creating some repository for extensions. These would
be community maintained, not included in product and wouldn't receive the
same level of testing. Maybe that would be a good place for this. With
Bills recent deployer work it could be easier to allow users to deploy
custom extensions as well.
