Tamas Cservenak updated MRESOLVER-391:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
Original issue description was: "As per MNG-5988: if an artifact in "test" 
scope is found nearer, but in scope "compile" is found deeper in graph, the 
"test" scope wins. This at runtime may lead to CNFEx."

This is completely wrong premise, and it contains following false assumptions:
* The "test" classpath is superset of "runtime" classpath. Is not.
* (derived from that above) To get "runtime" classpath collect via resolver 
"test" classpath and cherrty-pick non-"test" (or filter out "test") scoped 
nodes. This is not how it works.
* A collected graph can contain both, "test" and "runtime" classpath (implied 
with "test scope wins but at runtime..."). There is no "production part" of 
"test" graph. Graph is this or that, not both, should not be assumed 
"overlapping".

When one asks resolver to collect (or resolve), resolver will perform based on 
input. And the result is either this or that, but not both. In fact, the 
collected "dirty tree" (graph) cannot even represent both "test" or "runtime" 
at the same time!

The reproducers in this issue are actually precise examples showing why it is 
impossible.

Hence, this issue should be more like a "discussion" to decide what is right 
behavior of resolver in these cases, as for sure there are some edge cases 
(like silent version bump from 1.x to 2.x), but still, it does happen per user 
instruction (who authors POM), and Resolver does not want to delve into 
"compatibility calculation" space, where it can decide is a change "compatible" 
or not (like semver and alike).
