True: if you want to do anything beyond the test phase before tagging the code, this won't work. (I'm not scared by version number transformation ... I haven't had that break a build for me yet. Without running tests, you have no idea if anything will "work". You're really just checking that the compile / package will probably run without error. Of course, if your <scm> info is incorrect then the whole thing could still fall apart in 'perform'. My point was merely that the preparationGoals are just a way to hedge your bets anyway, and depending on your process, you might or might not care to do that.)
