Maven 3.6.0 was released today. It
adds the ability to add a child.inherit.append.path attribute
to various places within a POM file to turn off Maven's automatic
appending of child module names to various paths. This has been a
long-standing complaint with Maven as it had essentially baked-in
SVN path semantics to the model in
a way that couldn't be turned off or worked around sanely.
Unfortunately, the Maven Central rules can't accept POM files that contain the new attributes:

I've filed a bug.
