I think this is the natural progression of the CM and SCM fields, we have to get past the 4 activities and that is all that CM and SCM folks do. This field has been evolving way past that thought pattern. So i say the title is right on. Depending on the size of the organization, your job may only be to handle buils, or tool support, or version manament only. I am the tech support, build guy, tool support, training person, etc. Its just the nature of the beast, as CM folks more and more is expected of us. ALM will change the game even more.

In recent years ,Build and Release Management process has picked a great pace.

Today ,alomost every MNC's are following a robust build process and a seperate team is specifically assigned for this task.This team has the responsibility to coordinate with the development as well the Testing team. Deciding the change management strategy ,compilation and packaging and Release are some of the areas a build and release engineer would be required to work on mostly.

An agile build and release management strategy would offer following features:

• Provide development management with key status information and data.
• Automate everyday build and versioning tasks, and provide quick access to
file and version information.
• Support end-to-end tracking of defects and enhancements against previous
file versions.
• Be agile and robust enough to easily adapt controls to changing project
conditions.
• Make it is easy to do the right things and hard to do the wrong things.
