When is a POM a legacy POM? The problem is that if you don't label the
POM version up front, *that* is how you end up with a legacy issue.
People will just lose track of the correct POM versions. The problem with
assumed values is that assumptions change over time.

But this is irrelevant for people not using legecy POM's (which I would
think is the great majority). What would be the inconvenience of having
defaut values? People wanting to use legacy poms just need to override
those.

Such a default value would be bad karma, in the sense that you have no
indication which version of the POM (Schema) the POM instance was
written
against. That stops you from doing intelligent support of legacy POMs,
especially if you make a non-backwards-compatible major version change.
Although it is a nuisance, it really is better for each POM instance to
explicitly state which POM version it is supposed to be valid against.
