> I mean you build the project with maven 4, upload to central, and a maven 3 projects depends on it. Yes, in that case they may be differences. BUT, since we talk about _two distinct projects_: your, that is built with mvn4, and theirs (consumer) built with mvn3. So they will anyway have more dependencies, not just your lib, and they will anyway have to handle their transitive hull, hence _maybe_ will need to have more entries in their depMgt to make things work out for them. Just like things worked so far, no change here. In general, I don't see this as an issue at all, here is why: consumer either suffered from issue like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7003 and they had it fixed, or they do not suffer from this issue. I see this just like making maven "more correct", "more convergent", am pretty much sure we do not _break anything_ with this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
