I don't understand the issue. I regularly use artifacts in my build that are only present in my local repository. Yes, Maven checks my remote repository for these artifacts but it doesn't ignore them if they are not in the remote repo. It also works when building offline without access to my remote repository. Is it treated as a cache, maybe so but it's not clear to me that renaming the tag won't serve to add more confusion to a long-standing behavior...
Clearly, removing the ability to install artifacts locally would be a very bad idea since it would make it more difficult for casual users to use Maven for casual builds (e.g., I regularly use it to build sample projects for customers that I never intend to do anything else with once I send it to the customer).
