Well, I'm a single developer now, but before long the project will grow, and maybe spawn new projects. I'd prefer to learn the ins and outs of repositories when the project is small and manageable. I was also intrigued by the promise to "shave minutes off a build" [1] and was wondering if this does in fact require a repository manager or could be accomplished more simply. Also, I just wanted to be a good Maven citizen and take a load off Central, if that wasn't too hard to do. But perhaps the most important reason is that I need to deploy customized versions of some Maven plugins. There are a couple I'm using on Central that are buggy, and might not be updated for awhile, so I need to deploy and use versions that have the bugs fixed. It's not clear to me if I need a repository manager for that, or if I can get away with the non-managed repository I have now for deploying project artifacts (and the site).
