Yes that is true. We are using clearcase though and the release plugin has some limitations with regards to clearcase.
I thought though that once a release is made, it should never be changed as it is in the "wild" and may have already been used. For instance, I think recently the maven developers had a problem with the release of the archetype plugin and they did not just re-release that version, they moved to a new one. If this is the recommended process, then I would think it would be appropriate for the deploy command to (at least by default) not allow the overwriting of an existing artifact.
