Enforce minimum maven version?

[EHJ-52n]

Should we enforce a minimum maven version to build our projects?

Context

I use the versions plugin to get informed about plugin and dependency updates. This plugin logs the following error:

$ mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
[...]
[ERROR] Project does not define required minimum version of Maven.
[ERROR] Update the pom.xml to contain maven-enforcer-plugin to
[ERROR] force the maven version which is needed to build this project.
[ERROR] See https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/requireMavenVersion.html
[ERROR] Using the minimum version of Maven: null

          <requireMavenVersion>
            <version>3.2.5</version>
          </requireMavenVersion>
          [...]
        </rules>
      </configuration>
