I am with you on the release often ...but I on the other hand fixating the plugin versions and a working release setup is a bit of blocker for me ATM. So if you want to release now - fine. But I'd like to have another release that fixes those things ASAP anyway. So I was just wondering whether waiting a few more days would make such a big difference.
I agree that we need to specify the plugin versions. If not in the parent, then the individual poms are going to have to do it (in which case, I don't know if there is value in specifying things in the parent. Could be ignorance here - are the plugin settings merged somehow?) The important requirement IMO is that anything that we release has a (perpetually) repeatable source build, both from the source distro and the svn tag. If we release something that has only an m2 build and does not specify plugin versions, we risk breaking that.
