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...
