Right. To clarify: I meant to fix the hacks for 5.0.3. Not to somehow
rewrite 5.0.2, which is now writ in stone.

Well, if someone extends pom-omero-client, _and_ they add a dependency on
that specific GA, _then_ they won't need to declare the version because it
is managed by the parent. But it won't automagically add the dependency for
them. To do that, you'd have to declare it in a <dependencies> section
rather than a <dependencyManagement> section which is considered very bad
practice, since someone might theoretically extend pom-omero-client without
actually wanting that dependency.

Anyway, the way forward to is to fix the dependency metadata for 5.0.3.

Regards,
Curtis
