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?
