Rather than having a general "snapshots" bucket, can't we have a better name that is more appropriate to the Eclipse workflow?
We should hide all the other repositories behind a virtual repository though so we can amend the list without leaking the set. Not convinced we should depend on external snapshots though - if there's a findbugs/tycho incompatibility it would be better to wait for a released version than risk having the snapshots get away from us. It's all to easy for people to start depending on more and more once you add a repository in.
