Actually, this makes some sense to me.  If you really want to test out your 
build scripts, but do not want to make actual changes to the corporate repo, 
you would want to instead publish to a temporary area.  You don't actually want 
to disable the "deploy" but you don't want it overwriting your current binaries 
since Java was so awesome as to always create binaries with a new md5sum 
(AWESOME feature let me tell you...).  

I would be interested in the outcome of this as well, since at the moment our 
only way of setting up a test environment is to create entirely new code repos 
and update poms.  Of course code and poms get out of date -- so unexpected 
"goodness" has the ability to creep up on us during production builds.

Take a step back and try and explain exactly what the problem is that you think 
you are trying to solve.

I have a sneaky feeling you are trying to get functionality similar to 
staging/promotion available from the good repository managers (iirc nexus free 
does not, but nexus pro and artifactory certainly have the capability, I would 
need to check archivia, but I suspect it might)

having the production setting enabled by default; After reading the Maven site 
it seems than the only way to do this is by using profiles but after some 
reading on this list it seems than the are not a good choice (many caveats).
