Hey, I agree this is unwanted behaviour, we should definitely align project inclusion and exclusion. In MNG-6981 [1] I made inclusion recursive. Please find the discussion in the JIRA comments. In summary, you can get the old behavior back using -f and -N.
I've created MNG-7102 [2] to resolve this and will pick it up directly as I have also picked up MNG-6981. The only thing is that the workaround with -f and -N will not work in the exclusion case. I don't think it should be needed to be able to only exclude a parent pom, but perhaps I'm missing something. Next to that, I think we should be careful with adding new flags just to make sure we are backwards compatible, as it might unnecessarily complicate the codebase and user experience if it is not used in the end. Thanks for the bug report, Falko!
