I'm not sure. What if I as a counsumer of the ivy file want to use a specific configuration of it? For example Ivy itself has configurations for "optional" stuff that are specific for some use cases. When I've got Ivy's ivy.xml I can say something like default->httpclient and get the transitive dependencies of core and httpclient as dependencies of my default configuration. With "only" the POM I need to do default->default,optional and get way more than I want. At lest this is my current understanding.
