Hi Everyone,

The current behaviour in Maven is that the central repository is built into the
code, and it's there unless you hack your settings.xml to disable it.  This can
be a bit confusing when trying to configure your settings for a repository
manager.  And it's not immediately clear what order is used when new
repositories are added to the settings.

Would there be any problems if the central repo definition was moved out of the
Maven internals and into the default settings.xml [1]?  It seems like that would
keep the central repo available for a fresh Maven install, but also make it
easier to control the settings for the central repo.  But maybe there is some
problem that I'm missing.
