That presupposes that nobody will ever use leiningen for any case
that's intermediate between, or orthogonal to, "personal project,
single file, no unusual deps, just load in REPL in IDE and use" and
"publicly visible large open source project with many deps that
everyone and his great-aunt should be able to build". For example,
"personal project, many files and local/third party deps" is not
covered and neither is "closed-source project for
small-to-medium-sized company without own version control server". For
the former, and arguably the latter, anything involving the word
"repository" in any way shape or form strikes me as
potentially-unnecessary ceremony. (Larger businesses will presumably
have in-house version control and keep proprietary code bases in a
repository, so there's no issue there. Also, larger businesses can
generally just buy their way out of any problem, inconvenience, or
excess of ceremony by hiring an extra person or two to deal with it.
:) Meanwhile, large FOSS projects all seem these days to have public
version control repositories, either freely provided by sites like
github and sourceforge or, in the most high profile and especially
business-backed cases, their very own server farms with project web
sites and repository.)

civilized age.
