I guess that the above policy just was not in place at that time.

Why is that besides the point?
There has never been a commons-jcs release as of yet. There used to be
(Jakarta-)JCS with completely different maven coordinates. Calling it
commons-jcs already says that it is not compatible with anything else.

The convention has been established to avoid class loader issues. We
don't have that problem here.
