When do you think Entropic will be ready?

I don't know, the main maintainers all got slammed with work stuff, so work slowed down. I only just got back to working on client work this past weekend, because I had just finished my first month at my new job.

Will it compete with the GitHub registry or would the GHR just be one way of using it?

I guess, but I don't think GHR is a general-purpose solution to ecosystem hosting. I think GHR could most definitely implement the Entropic protocol, though, and they're free to do so!

Will ds be an alternative to yarn and npm?

Yes and no -- it's a completely different package manager with a different concept.
