I can't see manpage for this macro:

$ man pom_change_dep
No manual entry for pom_change_dep

Unlike all other macros it's not documented in
/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.fjava either.

Even as one of developers of javapackages I didn't know about this.
That's why release notes are very important IMO.

There is another change related to auto-provides and requires.  Requires
for POM artifacts are now in the usual format like any other artifacts.
