The thing I was going to miss most was just the ability to "brand" the images.

mysillyusername/mything vs mything/mything has a very different feel.

I wonder if they could get the best of both worlds if they offered a "DNS" version where when you pull from hub.docker.com it's actually just proxying from you hosting the image somewhere else.

You can already achieve that the other way around without depending on Docker Hub: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/docker-image-registry-facade/

That lets you adopt a custom domain for the registry that pulls through Docker Hub and start using that. Until you need or want to switch to hosting your own.

It makes the image name a bit longer, but that's only because mything/mything is a shortcut for docker.io/mything/mything that Docker's suite of tools implements.
