Description

In pom-4.0.0.xml,

<name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name>
...
<name>Maven Plugin Repository</name>

are odd. Who ever talks about the "Maven Repository Switchboard"? Suggest replacing both with

<name>Central</name>

or perhaps Maven Central (though "Maven" in this context is probably redundant).

Also

<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>

is not ideal; directory-type URLs should have a trailing slash. Should be

<url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url>

Unified name to "Central Repository" in r1164995 which is more descriptive than just "Central", matches with our existing documentation and unlike "Maven Central" is not a registered service mark of a 3rd party.

As for the missing trailing slash in the URLs, please create a separate issue for that if you feel strongly about it. I'm not comfortable with mixing this URL change in here, mostly because I don't know how well existing code deals with slash-terminated base URLs during concatenation or how well double slashes are supported in the various transports.
