Description

The registry will support a data structure like this:

{
  "stagedVersions": {
    "whatever": "other",
    "metadata": "we wanna",
    "put": "here",
    "versions": {
      "1.2.3": { "manifest": "data..." },
      "1.2.4": { "another": "staged manifest..." }
    }
  }
}

Discussion still to be had about what the dist field ought to look like in staged version manifests.
