Hello again,

some days have passed and I didn't want to distract you people from releasing 
the new version of Maven, but now that it's done, I'm getting back to this 
topic.

I'm asking for the opinion of the Maven PMC and committers regarding this 
feature. I'd like to see some sort of dependency override/replacement 
mechanism. One that's powerful, yet easy to use, which doesn't require 
boilerplate XML and which leaves the dependency graph virtually untouched (by 
that I mean the shape of the graph remains the same, unless additional 
transitive dependencies are brought into play by overrides/replacements).

Please let me know what you people think of such a feature. Maybe a vote is in 
order, but I'm not sure and I wouldn't know how to call for one properly here. 
Please tell me how to proceed. I'm only willing to commit more time to this, if 
I have an ok from you that it'll be merged once it meets the quality standards 
of the Maven project.

As I said previously, this perfectly makes sense, but having this in Core means that someone needs to create an issue, proposal and a PR. Consider that no one of us is getting paid on this, so free time only. Unless it comes from the community, I see little chances to have this soon.

Michael
