A plain jane repo list often is not the result of a responder request. Some people search first, and notice the list pastes in the archives, about half of which either haven't followed the command that produced the pasted result ("here are my repos"), or followed commands that didn't show the switch or URI. Appending -r adds the URI, and obfuscatory line wraps, but doesn't eliminate any bloat or redundance. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
