More info from [1].

1 means running a single script (after the release vote has passed)

2 means running a single script (before or after the release vote) and
then a couple of clicks in Nexus to promote the JARs once the release
vote passes.

Nexus pros: The Maven artefacts can be available sooner since we can
upload them while the release vote is running.

Nexus cons: What was a single step to release the Maven JARs is now
multiple steps.

I think I am still neutral on this.

Jean-Frederic, what was your motivation for moving Tomcat to Nexus?
