Could be I am misunderstanding the proposal here, but IIUC there is another problem when it comes to release jars. Current practice is to create the jars from what ends up being the final RC tag. This tag is then either copied or moved to the release tag, which becomes the definitive source. So at the time the jar is created, the tag/revision pair that the build number should point to does not exist. The only choice would seem then to be to reference the RC tag which may end up deleted. So again, it would seem better to me to either omit the attribute from release jars or just use the (anticipated) final release tag name.
