After using MPC for awhile I noticed that a lot of p2 repositories are registered and enabled.  This causes provisioning operations to take an excessive amount of time (many minutes).

If possible we should minimize the number of registered repositories.

MPC should only add repositories for solutions that are being installed right? I think that makes sense because P2's check for update functionality needs repositories to be enabled in order to find updates.

Repositories must be added in order to resolve a provisioning operation.  This is done in MPC whenever the *Next* button is pressed to get to the feature selection page, since the page must know if the provisioning operation can be performed.

In other words, the only time repositories are added is when solutions are selected for install and the user decides to proceed with installation.  I really don't see a way around this since proceeding with installation requires that the repositories be added.
