easy thing to deal with just by scoping the URLs .. put something, ANYTHING, in front of these urls, that isn't "select" or "update" and
I'll let you and Yonik decide this one. I'm fine either way, but I really don't see a problem letting people easily override URLs. I actually think it is a good thing.
consider the case where a user today has this in his solrconfig... <requestHandler name="select" class="solr.StandardRequestHandler">
To be clear, (with the current implementation in SOLR-104) you would have to put this in your solrconfig.xml <requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.StandardRequestHandler"> Notice the preceding '/'. I think this is a strong indication that someone *wants* /select to behave distinctly.
