Daniel Spiewak commented on BUILDR-288:
---------------------------------------

What are the current thoughts on this matter?  I've been using Buildr with the 
modification for a while now without any ill-effects.  Though, as we agreed, 
the biggest change effect here is in the area of user expectation.  I'm of the 
opinion that we should just push this into trunk/, document and see what 
happens.

> Almost every buildfile I have ever created starts with the following line:
> repositories.remote << 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2'
> We already add the scala-tools.org repository to the list when 'buildr/scala' 
> is required, so why not the official, canonical repository at maven.org?  I 
> think that new users especially would find this more intuitive.  There is no 
> real loss of flexibility since it is always possible to *remove* a repository 
> from the array if it becomes necessary.
