I tend to agree about the cat being out of the bag, so I'm ok with
having *central-registry* exposed (esp since i suppose that would let
us have > 1 registry). But I think it would be ok to tell everyone
NOW that higher level interface functions are preferred and the old
push method is deprecated. If we were to then remove the old method,
that would be the time for the big version bump IMHO.
