Can Token Registry be used for NFTs? Can I self-host a Token Registry?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-09-03)

I just learned about the [token registry](https://developers.cardano.org/docs/native-tokens/cardano-token-registry/) by way of the [NFT docs](https://developers.cardano.org/docs/native-tokens/minting-nfts).

A few newbish questions:

1. It looks like the Token Registry is currently centralized, and I need to make PRs against github to add my own token to it. Is this a correct?
2. Can this Token Registry also be used for NFTs? (I'm asking if it's technically possible, not whether the current PR-based approach can be scaled to suit this use case)
3. Will dApp developers eventually be able to host their own Token Registries?
