Github user spmallette commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/867 I tend to agree with @jorgebay unless there is some high risk of something breaking in the template packaging (as i understand it we need nuget so that we can do `nuget pack`) on release day when we actually execute the `deploy` phase. If it fails on release day that would be really bad because we'd already have a positive closed VOTE thread and we would already be half of the other artifacts would have already been deployed. If @FlorianHockmann can explain why there is sufficient risk for failure during `nuget pack` perhaps we can agree to make that process a documented "Pre-flight Check" step of the release process that is triggered manually with `mvn clean install -Dnuget`. That way we can test it ahead of VOTE and not have it be part of the regular build process.
