Comment 1 for bug 1900439

This is by design - simplestreams uses a list of search paths. Just because a user provides their own URL, doesn't mean they always want to use *only* the entries from that URL. They may want to override only a specific version etc.

Is there are reason why the established behaviour is wrong? It's been documented that way since the start so we'll need to be careful if we want to change it.
