I agree and cant speak for Ralph, but I do NOT change versions (or anything
else that is relevant for deploying) of container-modules at all.
Why should I release a new version of my parent POMs if just some leave changed
or even if some internal site-report-setting changed. People that want to
use my deployed artifacts do NOT care about such changes. But in my case
every developer always checks out the entire head (or tag/branch) of SCM.
So there are different aspects of a deployed POM. If you ask me, all stuff
like <reporting>, <scm>, <issueManagement>, <distributionManagement>, etc.
is nuts for deployed POMs. But others may have a different view of the world.

But this might be the point where we do not get together with relase-plugin.
We simply have to accept that maven gives us flexibility to do things different
ways and release-plugin maybe can NOT address all of these ways and thats
just OK.
