Description

Scenario:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.mng4180</groupId>
    <artifactId>a</artifactId>
    <version>0.1</version>
    <exclusions>
      <exclusion>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.mng4180</groupId>
        <artifactId>b</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.mng4180</groupId>
    <artifactId>c</artifactId>
    <version>0.1</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

If b is a transitive dependency of c, the exclusion defined in a will also affect c, i.e. the class path would miss b although it's not excluded on c.
