Yes, but that's us kind of forcing a version of Velocity upon our users
rather than them choosing the version that works with their environment.
Sure, they can do dependency exclusions, etc, in the POM, but that's a
slight hassle.  If we choose a 'provided' scope, won't that work and be
better?  It'll be up to them to include the version of Velocity they want
in their POM and there won't be multiple versions provided, at least not
due to us.

Thanks,

mrg
