 If you *include* all versions by omitting the `version` element, you can still *exclude* (unban) certain versions, like `[1.2.17,)`.
 
-It is recommended that you look into [Maven Tiles](https://github.com/repaint-io/maven-tiles) so you can use a tile to define your banned artifacts and side load them into all your projects.
+The `import` URL and artifact are to be XML files that conform to the same `configuration` element as described here.  In fact, the root elmenet of that XML should be `configuration`.  You can create a Maven `pom` packaging type project that deploys the XML to your Maven repository.  Importing the configuration allows you to change banned dependencies without making changes to each individual project.  Just like with the `include` and `exclude` notation, the `import/artifact` version may be a range.  This way the latest banned dependencies can be side-loaded into all projects.  This means previously functioning builds may eventually start failing.  That is by design in this scenario.
