Agree. It's made life easier for Geronimo as you don't need special
staging vs. release profiles in your settings.xml. Basically, "mvn
deploy" of SNAPSHOT versions go to the Nexus snapshot repo and deploy of
a release (like 1.0.0) automatically goes to a staging site, which you
can then promote so others can access for testing/voting and then deploy
to the release mirrors or cancel after the vote completes.

This helps a lot, so I think we should discuss its use for Aries.
