Someone within Beckett was kind enough to inform me that new registry development and feature design has begun but that no commit dates could be shared at this point.
I really appreciated this individual and the update and I understand it's an IT resource limitation.
I understand too that database migrations can be tough, especially if you're dealing with new storage, possibly a virtualized environment, and newer versions of database software. It is prudent to redevelop the registry and then migrate from old to new, which is what Beckett appears to have done with the rest of the site much sooner.
The fact that the Registry database is not connected to the new infrastructure tells me that the Registry is sitting on some really old hardware and software that the new environment doesn't support.
Those are the nuts and bolts I've been able to ascertain but it certainly doesn't excuse the lack of decency and professionalism from their marketing and communications team to provide us with an update.
Later, my very disgruntled Registry amigos.
