Make it clear the 'next generation distribution' is experimental #894

Notice: This repository hosts the classic (stable) python docker-registry. If you are looking for the next-generation of docker distribution tools (including the new golang registry), please head over to docker/distribution instead.

I then spent 15 mins on docker/distribution trying to figure out the compatibility with versions of docker, how to set it up and so on. It was only when I happened to click a small link in the readme and read the entire ticket of docker/docker#9784 did I realise that not only is the registry not ready, the client doesn't even support it!

So it'd be nice to have a notice saying "Be aware that this is not currently ready for use, it's just where development effort will be shifting to." (possibly with an equivalent notice on the docker/distribution readme).

Hi, thanks for the feedback on this. Indeed, next-gen is under heavy development right now.

I modified the readme slightly to make things clearer. Let me know if you think this helps.

Best.

Looks good to me, thanks.
