Actually it was just a snippet ;-) The <version> was really meant to
be in a <plugin> definition (I just got lazy). Although I could see
one interested in, say, having a single inherited version when
building multiple projects -- so I could see it's legitimate use.
In the end, it's hard to build a powerful tool that isn't also
dangerous. You can cut your finger off w/ a skill saw, but that
doesn't make it any less useful and necessary -- it is assumed that
you will be careful.
