The fact that there's a "tag" doesn't (or shouldn't) mean something has been "released" by our PMC. With the setup I use, I log into Nexus OSS and basically approve the staging repository so that it can be officially released. So, we could create a staging repository for folks to vote (along with the corresponding tag). If the vote fails, we just drop the staging repo. Now, we could at that point decide that we want to remove the tag and fix the version numbers in the pom.xml files so that we can try again. Or, we could just use the next version number. I don't really care one way or another. We could even call out releases specifically by copying the tag to "releases/foo-1.2.3" or something.
