No. There's never been anything really official about Eclipse releng to begin with. Vendors who redistribute Eclipse generally deal with these requirements in their own way. And given the promise of API stability, I'm not sure how large of an affect we're talking about here.

Not sure I get you. file:// should be pretty fast since it doesn't go over a network connection. And I'm not sure I'd characterize the builds as slow. Including running all the tests, the builds only take 40 minutes on Hudson.
