i'm fine for 2.1, for 2.0.6 may be too risky

What about this use case for transitive dependencyManagement? has been tested?

A -> B -> C -> D

C depends on D 1.0
B has D 2.0 in dependencyManagement, no D in dependencies

A should get D 2.0

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.
