Description

Maven includes a Wagon Excluder when Maven 2 artifacts are used with Wagon 1.0.x: https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.4/maven-core/xref/org/apache/maven/plugin/internal/WagonExcluder.html
This is ancient Maven 2 backward compat.

Let's remove it and hope everyone has moved on to Maven 3.x artifacts and Wagon 3.x.
