The benefit is that staging Maven artifacts is no more a problem,
since Nexus (professional edition) allows an easy promotion to the
main repository.
The main Apache pom contains most of the configuration needed to
deploy artifacts correctly.
And this is the standard at Apache now.

No, the binaries will be uploaded in people.apache.org, only Maven
artifacts are interested. Moreover, Nexus has a nice "Staging upload"
feature, that allows to upload Maven artifacts in a staging
repository, to allow the vote process.
