Not sure what definition of "now" you're using, but the above sentence
is not in Emacs-24's code, instead we have:
(defcustom package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))
"An alist of archives from which to fetch.
The default value points to the GNU Emacs package repository.
Each element has the form (ID . LOCATION).
ID is an archive name, as a string.
LOCATION specifies the base location for the archive.
If it starts with \"http:\", it is treated as a HTTP URL;
otherwise it should be an absolute directory name.
(Other types of URL are currently not supported.)
Only add locations that you trust, since fetching and installing
a package can run arbitrary code."
:type '(alist :key-type (string :tag "Archive name")
:value-type (string :tag "URL or directory name"))
:risky t
:group 'package
:version "24.1")

I hope any improvement they might have made was contributed back to
Emacs, so we don't fork that code unnecessarily.
