I agree that a repository should be a virtual location that is
independent of the physical locations. (02)

I certainly agree. But even people who have used computers for
years are often clueless about how and where their data is stored
and managed. (And MSFT tries as hard as possible to make them
even more clueless.) (04)
The solution is to provide a tutorial for newbies, not to clutter
up the formal definitions with extraneous detail. (05)
