By the way, you could still achieve the goal of running the integration 
testsuite and skipping the unit tests, by doing the following 2 steps:

1) From AS7 top level - mvn clean install -DskipTests

This will run the entire build and skip all tests including unit and 
integration tests.

2) cd testsuite/integration - mvn clean install

This will run the integration tests

I really don't see a real need for adding another flag for this. But 
yes, I might be missing some usecase.
