The only advantage of listing internal modules in
dependencyManagement is so that you don't need to include the version
and/or type where its referenced. That seems like a good idea, but
in practice it adds more complexity to the configuration and more on
going maintenance and coupling of modules into the root pom, which is
not a very nice thing.
IMO dependencyManagement really shines for thirdparty/external
dependencies, not internal ones.

It seems reasonable to me.
IIRC, this was originally set up by Mr. MavenHead himself. Might
want to run this by him to see what he was originally thinking.
+1 - pending a quick check w/ Mr. van Zyl.
