release plugin using a non existent goal deploy:pom

executing maven release as shown below uses non existent goal deploy:pom

I checked the jelly script plugin and this is what it's doing. Is that a typo, or is it something no one use ? What are the correct alternative then ?

Thanks

[dhcp121 mi]$ maven release
