Yes, JMH build is using 4.6. There is no guarantee it will work with the
updated dependency, and I don't see the value in trying to do so.

As much as I appreciate Gentoo way, trying to force the dependency
version outside of what the actual project mentions in its build files
is setting up Gentoo users for trouble.
