As releasing the stub plugins would increase their potential to

How so?
The problem I originally described was about users that referred to
LATEST plugin version and had the snapshot repo enabled.
I think we're going to have two major user stories here, people who
take the last released IT bundle and run it to validate and people who
check out the sources and build everything and run the ITs.
If we release this stuff often enough there will only be a few ITs in
flux at any given moment. We cannot leave references to snapshot
anything in the ITs for long.
If we deploy the stubs to central, all users that haven't locked
down the plugin version have a chance of getting the stub, even if
they don't use snapshots. E.g. releasing maven-clean-plugin:0.1-stub
would make the stub considered LATEST over maven-clean-plugin:2.2. I
could imagine we would receive a lot more user complains then.
Like I said in our own ITs using snapshot versions of the stubs I
don't think makes a lot of sense. The stub is in such a high degree of
flux we can't release it?
