This relates to the discussion of #4. This PR just adds some guidance on how to deal with the situation where you have multiple existing repositories, by recommending using a single image repo to serve all the metadata while offering up download locations either via API/HTTP redirects or via custom targets metadata.

lgtm. As you said in #4 this does not explain why multiple image repos would be used, but as this is discouraged I think that it's alright to leave it as is.

Seems reasonable to me, as long as the metadata from the Image Repository is trustworthy.

I would ask just to clarify that this has nothing to do with the Director Repository, just the idea of using multiple Image Repositories to accommodate literally different servers for images.

LGTM, but our style guide is to capitalize "Image repository" and "Director repository".

@tkfu --There are a few small wording suggestions that need to be resolved. Can we get this done?
