If you use "openpkg build" and let it directly fetch the RPMs from
ftp.openpkg.org (which is the default) you have to run "openpkg
register" on all your instances, yes.

Sorry that this is still unclear. You just take the "openpkg-registry"
package from CURRENT. It is intended to be used with RELEASEs, too.

We do not track run-time information of instances. The only information
you share with us are the three UUIDs of the instances. No other
information is shared. You can see this if you do the interactive
registration process via "openpkg register". But we track the
registration and login times on the server side. And currently the
"heartbeat" renews when you just _reregister_ the instance. The
heartbeat is intended to allow you and us to get rid of obsolete
registered instances.
