In my opinion it is just a part of it, i think i detailed this here: http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/474564645f673fbb/discussion_about_release_frequency (This discussion was subsequently sidetracked and dominated completely by maven, so I gave up, until Shai brought up the idea again recently of trying to do a release) I think that the release process is too complicated, and doing things to simplify it, such as pushing maven downstream would help a lot. Furthermore I had this to say about maven once it completely took over the discussion: since i have been around, it seems the "maven" is wrong in nearly every release[1] including even bugfix releases. if i am going to be the one making artifacts, i want them to be right.
