I don't think it is a good idea for the pipeline engine to hand on by
default parameters passed to the pipeline to components called in the
pipeline. This may permit someone calling a pipeline to pass
parameters that influence components called by the pipeline in a way
that is not intended by the pipeline author, potentially posing a
security risk.
