In the last year, we've seen multiple situations where a change in Maven core prevented Maven from building itself [1][2]. On the path to stabilising Maven towards Maven 4, I think this isn't helping us. That's why I propose we introduce an additional GitHub action. Let's call it the "eat our own dogfood" check: build Maven Core, then use that build to build Maven Core again. Maybe it's possible to do it on Jenkins, too. I'm less familiar with our Jenkins setup, that's all...
