This isn't entirely true. You could miss dependencies that weren't deployed, or if you change your MRM config, you could miss a problem there. It's better to have the CI system discover it than to have developers randomly see the same problem after they happen to purge their own local.

Then you have two options: cope with it or file an issue and even better attach the corresponding patch if you want to have a chance to go in :). Personally I just run a "mvn clean deploy" every 1/4 hour. No cleaning of the local repository of the CI server. Really, I don't see any interest with it. As long as you do a clean before compiling and use a corporate maven repository correctly configured, there can't be any artifact (jar e.g.) modification and so only your sources count. If you delete the locally downloaded jars, the only things that will happen is a local download of the very same things between your CI server and your MRM server. That's why I speak about local bandwidth waste.
