About not trying anymore to be clever regarding -source versus

Maven 4 requires Java 17 for execution. Therefore, users should not
have reason to use -source anymore. The concern expressed by Jorge is
that asking users to add empty <source/> and <target/> elements in the
plugin configuration compromise usability. I agree, but adding those
empty elements should be needed only if the user inherited those
elements (non-empty) from a parent POM, so they need to override them.
Whether it happens often or not is something that we could discover
with the beta.
I think this may still be an issue for people using a toolchain to
compile it with an older Java version (e.g. people wanting to compile
something using Java 8). In these cases, --release may not be available
so they have to use --source and --target.
