I agree - but they are useful for testing against. I've reported several bugs 
against Virgo and EclipseLink against their milestone releases specifically 
because they were available. 

The other aspect is of course that our first clients will need/want to put 
their milestones (which are explicitly not snapshots) somewhere. 

We may want to segregate the non-snapshot repository into 2 parts; milestones 
and releases. Nexus can then present them as a unified whole but maybe we 
reserve the right to clean out milestones or put them to eg archive.

True, we need to consider a plugin repository cache/proxy at least. The 
question is: would a repository for maven plugin resolution be sufficient?

Yup, but maybe only for pluginRepository?
