------------------------------------------------------------
But it is there, and you can't just arbitrarily change the behaviour. How do
you know this won't affect anyone? You make a change in Aether with no tests,
commit changes to ITs that fail without those changes in Aether, Maven core
fails with the changes in Aether and then you assert the test needs to change?
C'mon Christian, you can't do that.
