I'm not entirely sure that's correct. There are a number of issues  
filed in JIRA related to it (one is in the top 20, though that only  
required 17 votes), and that's just some proportion of the people that  
are using it.

I think there are probably alternatives (Eg, substituting values with  
properties and setting them in settings.xml), but perhaps surveying  
the users on the impact of this to their builds would be prudent?

Cheers,
Brett
