Something along the lines that when its dependency resolution mechanism is hit, it fails unless -Dsrcdeps.enabled is passed in. Of course there is still a risk that someone adds that property to the pom by accident.

It works quite nicely. I remember seeing 3 levels of nesting and I'm 
sure it could have even more.

It does delay the main build, though, as srcdeps builds the dependencies 
on demand. It means that the first local build of "wildfly-core" that 
depends on "elytron:1.2.3-src-abc123" will also build Elytron's revision 
"abc123".
