A big +1 for making it a default

I am also +1 on adding this to 2.0.6: for me this would just mean
removing tons of unneeded/workaround dependency from tons of poms. I
agree that, although consistent for some time, this behavior
introduces so much problems that should be considered a bug and not a
behavior.

Since anyway this is a important change and so many people are worried
about it, I would just propose to label 2.0.6 as 2.1 (trunk will
become 2.2). That should the reason for version numbers, right? We
shouldn't wait for trunk to be ready to name a release 2.1 and if we
introduce a change we should label it appropriately...

Hi,

After working with it a little this week I would like to propose to
make MNG-1577 behavior introduced the default. Builds are completely
and totally unpredictable without this behavior. The behavior in
2.0.5 is fundamentally broken. To are totally prey to any dependency
introduced by a dependency which makes no sense and completely
counter intuitive. I stabilized a massive build this week simply by
using the behavior present in the 2.0.x branch. I don't think we're
doing anyone any favors leaving the old behavior in. After watching a
disaster be recovered by using this new behavior I feel that the
patch should go in as is and become the default behavior. This puts
the user in control which is the way it should be.

I propose we make this the default behavior. Can anyone think of a
case where this degree of control would break an existing build?

This patch saved my bacon this week, I think this behavior makes a
world of difference to users.

Jason.
