Good idea. IMHO, it should be at 'project', 'magic' and 'system' level, e.g.
runtime/activation/api, central/system and ${user.home} and must have higher
precedence than the common ones.

No comment. I guess a lot of people need it...

For now, it should be an overridable property. Later we should support some
clever algorithm for multiple prioritized sites.

Are you subscribed to the Depot list?? If so, you should have noticed the
complete lack of activity recently, which yesterday was raised as a major
concern.
To me it seems that we have more experience with repository handling (it ain't
that hard!) than Depot. IIRC, one concern that was raised earlier, in
conjunction of seeing if we could put Depot into Merlin instead of Avalon
Repository, was the lack of classloader management, which is also a concern
in the build system (believe it or not).
