Recommended configuration phase

On wiki there is the recommended configuration https://github.com/Ekryd/sortpom/wiki/Recommended-configuration:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.github.ekryd.sortpom</groupId>
      <artifactId>sortpom-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.11.0</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>sort</goal>
          </goals>
          <phase>verify</phase>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Shouldn’t the <phase> be validate instead of verify? It’s also the default phase as seen in the code. Does it make sense to compile everything and fail at the end because the POM is not sorted?
