Another 'why' question.
Why do we use
<_versionpolicy>[$(version;==;$(@)),$(version;+;$(@)))</_versionpolicy>
as opposed, perhaps, to
<!-- Force consumers to respect third version component. -->
<_consumer-policy>$${range;[===,+)}</_consumer-policy>
or something like it? I don't, personally, even know what it means to
put that third value into the policy, I thought that only two slots
were defined.
As a matter of pointless taste, I am not fond of
<Bundle-Activator>${cxf.bundle.activator}</Bundle-Activator>
as opposed to just writing the instruction in the pom that wants it,
but I'm not proposing to have an argument (or to change it).
