Those releases had to be redone or worse the SVN tag was "amended" (which is not possible anymore with git) to "fix" the release.

Of course it is always possible to have it working by selecting the good profiles in the release plugin and on the command line, however it is error prone and it is hard to figure out by looking at the build what should be used.

Obviously we need to address developer productivity and we do provide a way to perform a build that saves the most time we can when it is activated in a simple manner.
