JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7879
The purpose of the BOM packaging is to more cleanly identity POM that will
be consumed as BOM from POM that will be used as parents. The BOMs can be
turned into a consumer POM, whereas parents can not loose any information.

> The BOM packaging provides a way for Maven to differentiate parent POMs from
> BOMs. This is required in order to be able to reduce the consumer POM :
> BOMs' POMs can be reduced easily as all the build time information is
> irrelevant, however parent POMs must preserve all build time information.
> In order to preserve compatibility, the BOM package will be translated into a
> POM packaging at publication time.
