AFAICS this has nothing to do with M2/M3, but early M2 versions simply did 
not pin-point the versions of the plugins they used. For latest releases of 
M2 (and IIRC all releases of M3) this policy have changed, and you will have 
to declare the version of a plugin explicitly in your POMs, if you want to 
use a different version than the one that is declared internally.
