You mean documentation like `ceph-deploy --help` or `man ceph-deploy` or the [1] online documentation? Spoiler, they all document and explain what `--release` does. I do agree that the [2] documentation talking about deploying a luminous cluster should mention it if jewel was left the default installation on purpose. I'm guessing that was an oversight as Luminous has been considered stable since 12.2.0. It will likely be fixed now that it's brought up but the page talking about deploying would do well to have a note about being able to choose the release you want for simplicity.
As a side note, it is possible for any one of us to make change requests to the documentation as this is an open source project. I have a goal to be more proactive with taking care of goofs, mistakes, and vague parts of the documentation as I find them. I'll try to do a write-up for others to easily get involved in this as well.
