One of the questions in my original post was actually "which pom should you execute 'mvn release:prepare release:perform' on?". I'm guessing, based on nothing else but intuition, that it's the parent pom, not the root pom, so, in my case, I suppose that'd be production/app/parent-pom/pom.xml. However, that SO question was just for poms that aren't at the repo root; my question is a touch more specific than that, what with a parent-pom as a sibling to its children, which is a common use case, IME.
