As per Wayne's email, once you get to the fourth digit, the numbers
don't matter anymore.
I don't want version 1.0.0.9 - I want version 1.0.0.25 or 1.0.0.82 -
whatever is the latest, but since this artifact is used by a different
process (one that requires hard versions), we need a build number.

Agreed. But what you can do is put zeroes to pad out the build number.
So instead of 1.0.0.9 you'd put 1.0.0.09.

It's kinda a bummber it isn't <major>.<minor>.<maint>.<build> or would
only resort to string comparison when it encounters a "-".

If you want anything greater than say 1.0.0.3 and anything less than
1.0.0.99 you specify <version>(1.0.0.0,1.0.0.99)</version> you get
version 1.0.0.9 (even if there's a version 1.0.0.52).
The (current and proposed future) versioning scheme is pretty well
documented. [1] [2]
Numerical version comparison only works for the first 3 dotted
fields in
the version. Once you get to 4 fields, the versioning reverts to
"case-insensitive string comparison" for the qualifier.
Thus:
2 > 1
1.5 > 1.4
1.1.1 > 1.1.0
1.0.0.9 > 1.0.0.52
