MetacelloPackageSpec>>explicitLoadUsing: may not load a newer version of  
the requested package when one or more of the repositories are down and it  
does this without throwing an error or any other notification...

As a result, you can end up with a 'version not found' error, because you  
really needed to get a new version of the configuration.

It doesn't make sense to throw an error in this case because we don't know  
that a problem will ensue and we definitely don't want to fail because a  
repository is offline, but we may want to dump a warning and set an  
internal  flag or something so that we can let the user know that the world  
is not quite right ...
