While I fully agree that releases should be done with care and attention, and that doing bad releases creates pain/cost for everybody, this line of argumentation can be used to back up any form of complication to the release process. :) Let's focus on the reasons for each step and keep the discussion at that level, please? I think it's useful if people ask "is that really necessary?" for steps in the release process. Just weigh the pros and cons. I'd like to understand more about the trouble Philipp ran into doing releases from the original checkout and then tagging.
