Documentation for release plugin has still not been corrected.

Per MRELEASE-707, the documentation at http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/usage.html has still not been corrected, even though the issue was marked as "closed". It is not an unreasonable expectation as this is supported by the SCM plugin: http://maven.apache.org/components/scm/maven-scm-plugin/status-mojo.html and the other Maven Lifecycle plugins:
https://maven.apache.org/scm/maven-scm-plugin/validate-mojo.html

I'm still a little unclear as to why this is so ridiculous that you would take this information as a parameters (for example, cases of releasing to a different repository than is in your pom), but the documentation should be corrected either way.
