As discussed in a weekly meeting, we have a request in GitHub to provide a Spring Boot parent in addition to the existing BOM. Here are my points from the meeting notes:

• Parent like this shouldn't require much effort and should cover what's requested: https://gist.github.com/gytis/5601feabe6cb3b682bba9d4e903e4557.
• We could get rid of spring-boot-dependencies from the spring-boot-bom.
• We should clearly state that even though the parent inherits all the dependencies and starters from the spring-boot-starter-parent, only what's inside spring-boot-bom is supported (currently we're doing that in spring-boot-bom with spring-boot-dependencies).
• We should update all the examples to use the parent. It would make their pom.xml smaller.

Issue on GitHub: https://github.com/snowdrop/spring-boot-bom/issues/62

Since this would have prod implications I think that cmoulliard and nainazone should come up with the final yes or no.
