It doesn't pick randomly, it picks based on nearest, which is
undefined if there are two at the same level. However, this was
mucked with in 2.0.4 and seemed to get a bit worse.
I originally had it set to greater and there was much confusion
because you couldn't always see where the version was coming from
(you expected one, got another because it was "less visible"). I
think now that transitive deps are more familiar, this probably would
be received better.
The plan was always to (re-)introduce the conflict resolution
strategies to make this configurable in Maven 2.1.

We constantly have version selection problems where Maven's random
version selection bites us. This would almost always be solved if
Maven would select the greater of the two versions. Why doesn't Maven
do this instead of picking randomly?
