That would require consumers to duplicate the dependency version from the plugin and requires a modification with every plugin dependency update. Maybe at the same time one could make the version attribute of plugin -> dependencies -> dependency optional and if left out the version defined in the plugin would be chosen. That would also easy managing exclusions.
