Its got positives and negatives. Bear in mind that the resources in android.R are not overridable.
There was an example given earlier where things get messy (when library nesting is allowed): If library A depends on library B. Project C depends on both A and B then things get a little confusing when A overrides some resources in B: i.e. C would see some B resources where A might be expected. What happens when a project defines a java class with the same fully-qualified name as in one of its libraries?
