Hi there.
For the display--updates goals which correspond 1:1 to an update- goal - would't it make sense to replace the display goal with an additional property (displayOnly, or dryRun) in the update goal? This would eliminate a lot of duplications.
Implementation-wise, that would make sense indeed. However, most users don't pay close attention to changes in plugins as they mostly have them plugged into their CI/CD pipelines. Removing a goal or changing option semantics (even preceded by a deprecation) would eventually cause a barrage of bug reports with complaints about broken pipelines.
So, personally, I wouldn't introduce any breaking usage changes.
I noticed it has been release as 2.16.2 but I used 2.17.0 in at-since javadoc comments. If you care, I could file another PR to fix this. Just let me know.
I had a plan to bump project version to 2.17.0 .... but forgot about it, @olamy release next version as is ....
Master version should be always ready for release without magic - so it was my mistake 😢
Now we can update since tags to corresponding correct version 2.16.2 and with next release documentation will be ok.

First of all thank you for taking care of my PR #1016!
I noticed it has been release as 2.16.2 but I used 2.17.0 in at-since javadoc comments. If you care, I could file another PR to fix this. Just let me know.
Also I would like to discuss two ideas I had while implementing #1017.
Display- vs update goals.
For the
display-*-updates
goals which correspond 1:1 to anupdate-*
goal - would't it make sense to replace the display goal with an additional property (displayOnly, or dryRun) in the update goal? This would eliminate a lot of duplications.Mojos/Goals we could refactor accordingly would be imo
Adopt Reports to the concept of
Segments
org.codehaus.mojo.versions.api.Segment
Instead of filtering versions like in the display or update goal, I would suggest to report per Segment:
Example:
Current Version: 1.2.3
Latest Increment update: 1.2.4 Latest Minor update: 1.3.7 Latest Major update: 2.0.1
