I can't speak for others, but I'd personally find that quite
irritating (and I make sure I keep my ss3 repos in sync with the ss
ones).

More than that: Metacello has - as I understand it at least - coupled
the notion of a project together with the source of that project. In
other words, a ConfigurationOfFoo says "get these packages from this
server". That means that unless you take care in how you write your
ConfigurationOfs your source location is a single point of failure.

Dale, how complicated would it be to separate out the notion of
findability? In other words, to have the person _executing_ the
ConfigurationOf to say "look for packages in these locations" with
defaults set to {ss. latAm. ss3}?
