Christian Schulte commented on MNG-6141:
----------------------------------------
[~ctrueden] Everything regarding those commits will lead to endless discussions
and nothing else. Sad about the situation is that the most interesting issues
solved in that repository are re-reported by independent users in JIRA again
and again. Discussions were about "existing, experienced, senior" users having
become used to things as they are vs. "new, unexperienced, junior" users
reporting issues in JIRA senior users decided to either never resolve or to
postpone to a new Maven major version. I stopped any discussions when I was
told that Maven would not be my personal playground although the only thing I
did was resolving those JIRA issues reported by users. Breathtaking colors had
higher priority. Hmpf. Forget about that one ;-)

> Overriding the dependency management in a module's {{<dependencies>}}
> section, the overridden value will not be preserved transitively. It makes no
> sense to be able to override the dependency management in a module if that is
> only effective in that module and nowhere else. Overriding the dependency
> management from inside a {{<dependencies>}} element should be considered an
> anti-pattern. Maven should provide a warning when it is used. During the
> development of Maven 3.4, there have been quite a few discussions on dev@
> about build issues which were all caused by overriding the dependency
> management that way without noticing this is not supported transitively.
