I'm not sure what you mean by configuration. The two cases in archiva which now share the the id 'apache.snapshots' are both <url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url>, and so I would think it desirable feature that they share a single id for matching elements in settings.xml. For example, if you have a local mirror or proxy of that repository, you can write a single settings.xml fragment that catches both, or if the repository is down, you can stop maven trying to access it with a single <repository> and <pluginRepository> instead of duplicating them for two ids. Max.
