This is ultimately the same conclusion everyone (except the maven guys) seems to come to. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1577.

Good point, but this is only a matter of time when it get fixed.

AFAIK, we want to have independence between blocks. If this is the case, then we cannot use a <dependencyManagement> in a top level. I thought this was the initial reason why we don't use it.

Was it? IIUC a block remains independant, if <dependencyManagement> is used in one of it's parent POMs. Jorg, do you know more?
