title: Disable Maven dependency mediation
body: <p>As I don't trust Maven to pick the "best" version for me in dependency mediation, I would like to fail the build if there is a version conflict that is not explicitly fixed in the pom (usually by using dependencyManagement). </p>
  
  <p>The dependencyConvergence rule of the enforcer plugin seemed to be what I was looking for, but unfortunately, it cannot handle *-exludes (<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-195" rel="noreferrer">https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-195</a>), so I cannot really use it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way to stop Maven from applying the "nearest dependency wins rule" but make the owner of the pom decide which version to use?</p>
