Hi, I don't know if it was the original motivation, but at least this gives us kind of a feature. Releasing is a particular milestone in a project lifecycle. So having to think twice abt it is not totally bad imo.
For example, passing -DskipTests during a release would be plain nonsense to me. And you might end up doing this kind of thing without a conscious choice. -Darguments forces you to think: ok this is what I want to pass to my release.
