Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-5227:
------------------------------------
But it is there, and you can't just arbitrary change the behaviour. How do you
know this won't affect anyone? You make a change in Aether with no tests,
commit changes to ITs that fail without it, Maven core fails with the change
and then you assert the test needs to change? C'mon Christian, you can't do
that.
> The 'optional' flag of a dependency should be manageable.
