Here is what I found on version numbers [1]. From what I gather after reading that using 2.5.0.1 would be considered "non-standard". The only downside to this would be the version numbers would be compared as strings. We could use 2.5.0-fix1 which would be considered standard, but I don't think that buys us anything with regards to version comparison. I could pose a question to the Maven users list and see if they have any advice.
