Definitely an interesting move, since Docker recently released their own private repositories with their 1.0

Seems like a very logical move. First we get stable CoreOS updates, now we have private Docker index built-in.

We need something like this for Chef cookbooks. Managed private and public API endpoints for organizations to host cookbooks that don't belong on the main community site,

Supermarket is exactly that - right now it's used for the public cookbook repository, but the goal is to make it usable for private repos as well.

I wasn't aware of that. I know making it easy to host Supermarket privately is a goal, and already not too difficult, but this seems like an awkward solution for smaller organizations. So far I haven't seen any discussions about adding private repos: I would appreciate if you could direct me there. This is one such thread I've found: https://github.com/opscode/supermarket/issues/217

I would love to see some kind of namespacing: something that would come with organization-specific cookbooks. Really, when I said "don't belong on the main community site" I really mean "don't belong in the current global namespace."

Congrats to both teams. There's a lot of work to make clusters as easy to manage as single machines. These are definitely the right people to make it happen.
