 Currently the plugin and theme repositories are hardcoded into core code.
 The only way to intercept here is to write a plugin which needs to be
 installed therefore - which is a downside since the repositories are about
 plugins: you need to install a plugin to add a repository to install a
 plugin to ... (an endless self-reference with getting nothing done).

 It would be very useful that an Administrator can configure / change the
 default repository and even add other repositories. This would be the same
 as with package managers in the linux world where you can add multiple
 repostories.

 Plugin and Theme developers can then offer remote access to their
 repositories for example.

 Or admistrators can offer access to their checked and verfified
 repositories, which can be a local one as well.

 Can be as simple as a textbox with one repository per line.
