Description

There are some indications [1, 2] that the release-profile profile will disappear from Maven's super POM somewhen in the future. There was also an attempt back in 2009 to remove it but it was re-added again [3].
In order to support the removal of this profile, I suggest to disable its default activation in the maven-release-plugin. Additionally, I suggest to deprecate the useReleaseProfile parameter in the PerformReleaseMojo.
