Specifically in the Cederquist this is the wording: "If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this file, the `DEFAULT' line is used, if it is specified. All occurrences of the name `ALL' appearing as a regular expression are used in addition to the first matching regular expression or `DEFAULT'. The first matching regular expression is used." If one needs to specify detailed handling depending on the module then the old behaviour could well have been used. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
