You have to put the configuration somewhere... having a custom maven
distribution is sometimes easier than instructing each developer to
download a settings file and put it in a certain place.  It also has
the advantage of standardizing what Maven version is being used to
build your projects.  It's up to you, though.

I don't understand why it's important to have exactly *one* item in
settings.xml.  It's admittedly a bit ugly right now with repositories
and pluginRepositories and mirrors, but it works. :)   It should
improve once the repository grouping feature in the next version of
Archiva is available and you can serve multiple repos from a single
url.
