Yeah, and when I think back, I think this was what I wanted when I originally requested a BOM. The reason was that dependencies in my build was lagging a lot compared to what was currently being used by the karaf runtime. I wanted not to have to think about what version I should use. And using something like renovator (which maybe didn't even exist back then?), would risk me going past what the runtime was using and use something newer and I didn't want that.
