Then, what I understand from your message is that QGIS Official Repository http://pyqgis.org/repo/official and QGIS Contributed Repository http://pyqgis.org/repo/contributed both become merged in the new official QGIS New Official Repository http://plugins.qgis.org
and the distinction between contributed and official will no longer exist (obviously individual repos maintained by some authors will always be there as well). The text in http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Python_Plugin_Repositories made me think that QGIS Contributed Repository http://pyqgis.org/repo/contributed was going to remain active. Thanks for the clarification!
