https://oss.sonatype.org/index.html#view-repositories provides some help in
understanding this.

Repo 3 and 4 are both group repositories, which generally mean they are an
aggregation of other repositories and don't actually hold content on their
own. User's generally use these to limit the number of repositories they
have to point to. As the comment indicates, repo 3 is where most users
would go to get the actual release artifacts (if they don't go to Central)
and it also includes the snapshot repository. Repo 4 contains the artifacts
that have been staged. From the comments it apparently also includes the
release and snapshot repos as well as staging.

Repositories that actually hold content are "hosted" while others are
proxies for other Maven repositories hosted somewhere else.

Repo 1 and Repo 2 are where you will deploy to.

Repo 2.5 (The Releases repository mentioned)  is actually
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/ and is included in
Repo 3 and 4.

IOW (at least if I understand the comments in your note correctly) - Repo 3
is the aggregation of the Releases and Snapshots repositories while Repo 4
is the aggregation of the Releases, Snapshots and Staging repositories.
