Nearer is nearer in the transitivity tree (if they have the same depth, it is undefined).
So declaring it in your own POM should fix this. In beta-1, you will hopefully be able to select from nearer and latest (with latest now being the default, with the exception of a version specified in the pom being built). Note that at any point using a range of [1.5.3] will make 1.4.3 an invalid choice and force that version. Versions without set notation are treated as "suggestions" for which to select within the intersection of all the valid sets.
