I like this idea as well.  Useful in the assemblage cases:

      was (Author: gte250p):
    I agree.  A necessity in some cases involving Assembling optional (or sets of optional) dependencies.  See this site:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/assemblies-sect-assembling-via-depend.html

Instead of the proposed solution, another neat way to do it could be regular expression matching on the exclusion groupId and artifactId:
        <dependency>
            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>${someProjectId}</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
            <classifier>assemblage</classifier>
            <type>zip</type>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>commons-.*</groupId>
                    <artifactId>commons-.*</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

Maybe that is just overkill.
