Not sure whether May is recent enough :-) AFAIR there isn't anything difficult. The major pain point for me is the sheer number of manual steps - with it comes a big number of opportunities to make mistakes - and the time it takes. One detail I just figured out after my third release was that I can start the gpg-agent before running "mvn deploy" - and I think I've documented that. Without that I had to type in my passphrase for every single artifact. I prefer the "create the tag manually and avoid the release plugin" approach but don't think there is a big difference here.
