Should we allow the BOM to pick up new fix versions of specs
(keeping the first two version columns fixed to retain a stable API)?

The requirement for this came from a discussion on what we do when
we get a security vulnerability alert in some dependancy. If the spec
updated to a X.Y.Z++ release (incrementing Z only),
the bom would still reference the old vulnerable artifact in maven central.

See the Oct 8th Architecture call minutes and
#132

At the moment to quote Kevin, 'this pom file is really only used when releasing a new version of the MicroProfile platform. If a component has a security patch (or whatever), then they should just submit a PR against the pom.xml to get the upper bounds updated for their component.' We can return to this if desired if the/a top level pom ever gets used as a parent for dependencyManagement.
