The idea came from a discussion on the dev@ list between [~ralph.goers@dslextreme.com] and [~mpercy]:

Hey Ralph,
Nice. I didn't know enforcer could do that. After looking at its usage page
it seems easy to set up, too:
http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/dependencyConvergence.html

I would definitely be +1 for harmonizing Flume's dependencies and adding a
dependencyConvergence check to the Maven build. That first step should be
done with some care, though.
