Hello Json, hello Stephen, thanks for your answers. I have read a lot about this before :-). My point was: should new users reading introductory pages like "http://maven.apache.org/settings.html"; not be pushed in the direction to *avoid* repositories in their POMs.
I mean, now they are almost forced to think it would be "a good idea" to have repositories *in* the POM. Should maybe the two referenced articles be linked in the settings.html page?
