Ya, I label most bits with "HACK:" though maybe I did not adorn those module local repo configurations with them... they should have em though, as they defs fit into that category.

Why was this added?

The use of module local repositories is a temporary HACK that I added to add artifacts which only existed in m1 repositories... so that the build could be free of repos with a legacy layout.

And that's the problem with hacks. Sometimes hacks are necessary (or not?), but if they are not clearly identified as such, they tend to propagate through out the code base.
