In the NEWS for R 3.1.0, there is this item:

      The CRANextra repository is no longer a default repository on Windows: 
all the binary versions of packages from CRAN are now on CRAN, although 
CRANextra contains packages from Omegahat and elsewhere used by CRAN packages.

However, the .onLoad function in package utils still appends CRANextra to the 
Windows repos list and sets the repos option, so that CRANextra does indeed 
still appear as a default repository on Windows. This patch should make the 
reality agree with the NEWS...

(This patch was against R-patched; the same change needs to be made to R-devel 
as well...)
