The maven POM contains various <id> elements.
I always thought that these have to be unique within the pom.
However, I now learned that the <id> of repositories is just an identifier, that uniquely references or links to an according <server> item from the settings.xml.
Hence, we can simplify by using only a single ID for both SNAPSHOTs and releases called deploy. This will avoid duplicated/redundant <server> configs in settings.xml what is a nice improvement.
