    Resolution: Won't Fix

Hi Oleg!

I had the same discussion already a long time ago. The rational behind this is that people tend to skip tests way too often. But you usually really should not skip tests when doing a release. 
So - there is a way (as you gladly found out) - but it requires to not go the default route. And this is imo a good thing which is a welcome side effect of the way the maven-release-manage works.

> currently if i want to skip tests during a prepare or perform phase, i must do the following:
> mvn release:prepare arguments='-Dmaven.test.skip=true'...
> It would be more intuitive, if mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true would work. 
> This is the default way, how tests are disabled in maven.
