Interestingly enough this surfaced on Twitter as well, so there's also:
https://github.com/joschi/jackson-bom
which I assume is about the same thing.
So the idea is to usually Maven import this with scope of 'import', to get
the versions from dependencyManagement?
I am supportive of the idea, assuming release is as simple as just using
mvn release plugin, possibly modifying one line (or zero; but I had some
issues earlier trying to rely on ${project.version}), and could release
this as part of the usual Jackson release process. Or work with whoever
would like to maintain it, if preferable.
One open question would be whether core Jackson components themselves
should use this: I assume that would make sense. There may be some minor
question related to inclusion (or not) of components outside of fasterxml,
but I think bom could start incorporating more versions whenever (and if)
we figure out a way to coordinate releases of external things (like, say,
bson4jackson, mongo mappers?) in some sensible way.
So... what do others think? Would you find this useful?

ps. I think `jackson-parent` can still be used for versions of plugin
dependencies.
