Curtis Rueden commented on MNG-6141:
------------------------------------

Hmm, I guess the issue I stumbled over is something different then? Sorry for 
the noise.

> Dependency management overrides are not transitive and should be considered 
> an anti-pattern.

> Overriding the dependency management in a module's {{<dependencies>}} 
> section, the overridden value will not be preserved transitively. It makes no 
> sense to be able to override the dependency management in a module if that is 
> only effective in that module and nowhere else. Overriding the dependency 
> management from inside a {{<dependencies>}} element should be considered an 
> anti-pattern. Maven should provide a warning when it is used. During the 
> development of Maven 3.4, there have been quite a few discussions on dev@ 
> about build issues which were all caused by overriding the dependency 
> management that way without noticing this is not supported transitively.
