[vote] MNG-1577 as the default behavior

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.
