I think we have an opportunity to streamline what we do here quite a bit. One of the main issues we have here is the assertion that tags must be immutable. We have two options that I can see, then (since folks are opposed to "burning" version numbers):
1. Make them mutable. Then we can delete the tags when a release VOTE fails and go at it again. 2. Let the maven release plugin create tags called "rc/foo-1.2.3-rc1" or whatever while it's staging a release to Nexus for us. Then, when the release VOTE passes, we release the staging repository and copy the "rc" tag to "releases/foo-1.2.3" and call it a day. Thoughts?
