Yes, we're using it now in a project of that size. MC is quite usable 
now. You might want to make many smaller packages without dependencies, 
otherwise merging is really slow, and you get a lot of useless versions 
even though only the prerequisites changed. Instead, we just load the 
newest version of each package, which works fine in a small team where 
we can immediately sort out any problems.

I posted a couple of enhancements for supporting this style of work to 
the MC list. In particular, packages are highlighted which have a newer 
version available in the repository.
