I concur. The largest obstacle here in infrastructure. I have recently
completed processing and tiling 10s of TB of imagery for DoD and just
moving that amount of data around is costly and complicated, let alone
trying to serve it.
Amazon has indicated they would be willing to help us with this kind
of project, but I agree that a distributed registry approach makes the
most sense in the short/medium term, and think we should focus our
efforts there.

We should heed crschmidt's message. The amount of data is vast.
Besides a registry of where data is, a federated approach could
include
having parts of the imagery hosted in various places. I could see a
few
people in mass getting together to host massgis orthophotos, and other
regions doing that too. Using the OSM model, the goal would be to
have
the overall structure and indices, and also available tools to enable
others to host parts of the entire dataset with minimal effort.
