Carsten,

I would be cautious about adding an artifact repository without actually testing (i.e., loading, which can take very long) the artifact repository to see if that URL is indeed also an artifact repository.    Of course most everyone creates colocated repositories, but p2 is more flexible.

Regards,
Ed

Now I'm wondering if we should attempt to fix the update site list 
retroactively, i.e. scan for all metadata repos in the list that don't have a 
corresponding artifact repo, and add it. Theoretically, there could be cases 
where there is no 1:1 mapping between the two, but I think the common case is 
that both should exist.

Opinions?
