Chatting with @michael-simons, Neo4j's Java driver has a new maintenance policy in its 5.x line:
Neo4j’s Driver Team releases a new minor release every month now, with guarantees similar to a patch release.
There are no patches planned from their sides on releases of the 5.x series.
It feels like we should make an exception for the Neo4j driver and track the 5.x releases in 3.0.x. To do that reliably, we should allow the upgrade policy to be overridden so that Bomr will report the new versions when we're performing automated dependency upgrades.
