Is it possible to provide an pom with spring boot version on maven central repository officially just like this ? the new pom spring-boot-starter-parent-with-version makes it easier and more accurate to access spring boot version while working with maven, and for gradle just use the origin pom spring-boot-starter-parent.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>xxx</version>
        <relativePath/>
    </parent>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent-with-version</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <version>xxx</version>

    <properties>
        <!-- since spring-boot-dependencies:2.3.4.RELEASE -->
        <spring-boot.version>xxx</spring-boot.version>
    </properties>

</project>

I'm sorry @vdisk-group but we'll have to decline this enhancement request. This information was there at some point but we removed it for good reasons (see #23174) so we're not likely to re-introduce it for the reasons stated in the linked issue.

Thanks!
