As others said, depending on how old the current parent pom is, the
update is non trivial and requires a lot of careful reworking. It can
happen to easy that the module builds and tests pass, but the result is
missing OSGi metadata.
So recommendation: absolutely yes, requiring: no.
And the good thing is everyone can help with these parent pom updates.
You don't need deep knowledge about the details of the module. Make it
build and pass the tests and compare the resulting jar with the previous
one and check contents and metadata.
