Some projects are stuck on old versions of the pom because newer ones introduce
plugins with bugs. e.g., MASSEMBLY-942 stopped some projects on v21 for a very
long time.
So no, the parent pom needs to define less, not more.
[I’m almost to the point of just forking the thing and removing bits because it
is so wildly unreliable.]
