I have found that I have already saved maintenence time by spending a little time up front developing a custom Membership and Profile provider for my organization. It took about a week to make the providers and corresponding tools for user/role administration. But now that that is complete, it is a matter of minutes to configure new applications to use it. We now have a centralized authentication system (with single signon) for all our apps, built on the 2.0 provider models.

The other reason I invested this time won't show its benefit for another year or two. We needed to get user authentication up and running quickly, but we know that we will likely need to merge our applications with another authentication system in perhaps as little as a year. We have a centralized IT office that has been working on their own system, and when it is finished it is likely we'll need to retro-fit our applications to work with it.

So perhaps in a year I'll spend another week building a custom provider to work with their authentication system... but I won't have to change the coding for our applications one bit. I'll just pull out the old provider, and plug in the new one. So it will be a week instead of 6 months, when the time comes.

It would have been nice if Microsoft had packaged an Oracle-based membership provider. But I found it wasn't too difficult to build a provider, and there are advantages to being able to build it custom for your own environment.
