Thanks again for the explanation :)  That make sense, just not so easy for
newcomers from java world like me to figure it out at first glance.

I wasn't the one who's made this decision but here's my understanding.

Leiningen 2 uses Aether for dependency management. Aether doesn't use
~/.m2/settings.xml
by default.

In addition, many Clojure newcomers don't know what ~/.m2/settings.xml is
and are scared away
by anything with ".xml" in it. They want to write Clojure, not XML.
