A profile is perfect. We can introduce a skip property for every type and 
set all of them in the profile to false:

========== %< =========
 <profiles>
   <profile>
     <id>basic</id>
     <properties>
       <commons.skip.tests>true</commons.skip.tests>
       ...
     </properties>
   </profile>
 </profiles>
 <pluginManagement>
   <plugins>
     <plugin>
       <-- surefire G:A:V -->
       <configuration>
         <maven.test.skip.exec>${commons.skip.tests}</maven.test.skip.exec>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>
     ...
   </plugins>
 </pluginManagement>
 <properties>
   <commons.skip.tests>false</commons.skip.tests>
   ...
 </properties>
========== %< =========

Additionally we get the advantage to run or skip individual stuff from 
command line with identical pattern for the properties (or do you remember 
every time the individual property names):

 mvn site -Dcommons.skip.clirr=true

 mvn site -Pbasic -Dcommons.skip.clirr=false


+1

Cheers,
Jörg
