Anyone have an insite here? Having all elements of the super POM get inherited can be confusing if not dangerous.
For instance, generating site information for a project which has not overriden SCM information, will display SCM information for the parent project, not the actual one. Someone else observed similar behaviour for mailing lists. I have read that plugins can be set to private inheritence but this doesn't seem to apply to all sections of a POM.
