["Michael Osipov (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Michael Osipov commented on MPOM-289:
-------------------------------------

Not just in Velocity:
* {{maven.}} is our namespace, no one should fiddle with
* Things like {{maven.version}} override important stuff which is just wrong

I broke my release once by defining {{release.version}}.
