Having maven.home.local on a network drive is bad for performance in
my experience.
Not having a corporate/internal remote repo if you are using SNAPSHOTs
during development will also badly impact performance.

Introducing a variable as a replacement for a local repo seems like
overkill. Why not just go with the usual per user local repo, and
point the remote repo at a shared location? This seems to be less
effort and less complex.
