What I would like to see is that when a project explicitly specifies it's scm information, that m-release-p would treat that as a separately releasable item... so that if you have an aggregator project with no scm information, m-r-p would (perhaps with some hinting) see that as not requiring a release... it would then search through the reactor and pick up the projects that explicitly define scm info, and start releasing and tagging those one at a time....
there are issues with the above.... 1. what do you do when you have cycles in scm that make such a release impossible? 2. introduces a tight coupling between maven release plugin and the build plan... and tight coupling is evil. 3. Makes rollback harder to achieve... etc These are not insurmountable, but feel more like m-r-p 3.0 features rather than m-r-p 2.3 or certainly 2.x features. Have a look through the jira's http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE and see if there is something similar... if not please raise a JIRA for this feature.
