I don't think it was done but then wondering about moving to Quay.io ?
IIRC Brian Stinson recently said that he had that on his Todo (see
https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/77)

Worth mentioning here that the ContainerPipeline team "melted like ice
under sun" so only one remaining user is active and maintaining that
infra : Bama Charan Kundu <bkundu at redhat.com>
That setup/environment was moved recently to its own infra, so
registry.centos.org (and pipeline behind) isn't maintained by CentOS
Infra (nor even Project) (worth clarifying)
