I care, because the legacy nature of the project means that any changes I make 
to the existing structure of codebase on filesystem entails a lot of thought, 
and risks a veto. This is surely not an uncommon scenario.

I understand what is involved in, and (directly) implied by, declaring one 
project to be parent of another.

With all due respect, why do you care?

The parent project is only a POM...  It effectively declares the structure of 
the project.  If there is a core piece of logic that all other modules are 
built around, you define a module for that logic and then declare it as a 
dependency of all other modules.

I think you are misinterpreting the role of the parent - there is no code 
involved.
