If we're talking restructuring the local repo, I've long wanting to separate out locally "mvn install"'d items from those downloaded, essentially this would keep ( for the most part ) local SNAPSHOTs separate from anything downloaded. I guess what I really want there is a local releases/snaphshots repo separation, often it's handy to just blow away all snapshots and rebuild into a known state. It does make for more complexity tho. --- "The ease with which a change can be implemented has no relevance at all to whether it is the right change for the (Java) Platform for all time." — Mark Reinhold.
