I think that the a good working model is to store the ConfigurationOfXXX
in the project repository along with the project mcz files.
When a new version is released the configuration should be copied to
MetacelloRepository for the Pharo and Squeak community. I have a
GemSource MetacelloRepository where I put copies of configurations that
have been ported to GemStone .... when a new version for GemStone is
available.
I would not recommend that configurations be removed from
MetacelloRepository as that could break existing configurations that
expect to find the configuration there. So if it is found that there are
out-of-date configurations in MetacelloRepository, a new version of the
configuration should be copied into MetacelloRepository.
Now that Metacello is more established, I don't think that it is
critical to require that all configurations be copied to
MetacelloRepository.
It still is useful to have a sort of clearinghouse for configurations
and until a better solution comes along it serves that purpose. BTW, I
think Stef has plans to provide better solutions for Pharo...

It depends where you look at. ConfigurationOfXMLSupport exists
in MetacelloRepository as well as in XMLSupport. The latter
one being the official one, the former one being very
outdated. My sugesstion would be to remove
ConfigurationOfXMLSupport from MetacelloRepository to lower
the confusion.
Personnally I always look in MetacelloRepository, this should be
the reference IMHO.
Laurent,
I think it is up to the maintainers where to put those files. And in
the XMLSupport case the decision was made deliberately not to put it
in MetacelloRepository but in XMLSupport. The only thing I want to
avoid is having multiple different files floating around that are
edited in an inconsistent way.
I thought that all ConfigurationOfXXX working for Pharo should be put in
MetacelloRepository so we have a central place to look at.
But I may be wrong. Mariano ? Dale ?
