Yes.  I have filed this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736161

I see, I just didn't find the right directory of POMs.  I have created
apache-parent and filed a review request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=736069

I noted in the review request that the old POM should be removed from
maven2-common-poms once this package is released.
