Can anyone comment on the purpose [and status] of the 'stage' plugin?

Apart from the statement

   Its main use is for copying artifacts from a staging repository
   to the real repository.

at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-stage-plugin/, there isn't
much explanation. I don't find many references to it in posts, nor
does it seem to be addressed by the upcoming "Maven: A Definitive
Guide" and older "Better Builds with Maven" texts.

Specifically, what is a 'staging repository' [vs. a 'real repository']?

Would the plugin be used to move all artifacts from one repo to
another, or does it move only specific artifacts/versions?

>From content at
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-stage-plugin/usage.html,
the answer would appear to be the former ... but I don't see much
utility in that use case.

What am I missing? Thanks.

Brad
