I'm a weak -1 on this, solely because I don't find the reasoning for
not calling this 3.7.0 to be compelling. "Apache Maven 3.7.0 would be
the first release where you could optionally activate the
build/consumer feature. This version of this release has been renamed
to 4.0.0. Reusing 3.7.0 might lead to confusion, hence we picked the
next available minor version."

Are we sure? I certainly didn't expect 3.7.0 to be the first release
where you could optionally activate the build/consumer feature. I
can't say I expected anything in particular for 3.7.0. Did Maven ever
promise there would be a 3.7.0 with this feature?

If it were renamed 3.7.0 I'd be at +1.
