I think when we bump a project trunk to a new minor/major, at that point
it *can* use the parent TRUNK-SNAPSHOT (i.e. it becomes eligible).  But
IMHO it doesn't have to and shouldn't necessarily be an automatic part
of making a new minor.  If we don't change anything in the parent that
requires a new parent version, then there's no reason to change it.

So personally I think it's like everything else re: versioning:  if you
make a change that requires a dependency version bump, that person, at
that time, should update things to be consistent.  If someone has
changed the parent and wants those changes to be in the new minors, then
the time to change the dependencies' parent is when the initial parent
changes are made.
