This is an incorrect assumption.

At present these artifact names do not conflict, neither in the repository
coordinates, nor in the the class package. It's in fact the auto module
algorithm which ignores both the project's self chosen full coordinate, as
well as any version numbers present in the filename which is solely
responsible for introducing the conflict.
