This is tied to the "third party dependencies can never change" issue, the 
idea was that you'd never change the parent outside a minor update.

Of course since we're at 3.1.0 right now anyway, it's not a mistake at the 
moment since we're back to having to change the parent for that release. 
But then it's supposed to stay locked to that number until we branch or 
decide to go to 3.2 for the next trunk release.
