Lukas, The only thing that worries about including such repository all of the time, is the cost of building the cache of repository when resolving repositories ... the secondary repository would get pretty large over time and most of the time (only in the case of errors) would it need to be scanned. I suppose Metacello could handle load errors in the code that calls Gofer and do a retry using the secondary repository...the secondary repository _could_ be specified as part of the configuration, so this probably isn't a bad idea...
