Like Stephen I would prefer to keep them separated. They have a different lifecycle as we should be (we are ?) able to run ITs against various versions of Maven and we take care to have flags to enable/disable some tests. I see no advantage to merge them For me the need to reduce the number of repositories is like the need to reduce the number of Jira projects. It's only a sysadmin constraint and it is against the spirit of these tools.
