Does this then make the whole transitive dependencies thing less useful
than it at first seems?
I think what I most want to know is:
*What is the GOAL of transitive dependencies?*
If the goal is to /stop me having to know about or think about the
dependencies in use/, it would seem that it doesn't work:
I still need to know about all the dependencies in use.
And I need to think about whether the versions of transitive
dependencies being provided automatically are suitable, or whether I
should override them.
So, what is the goal of transitive dependencies?
And are people finding that the implementation is helping them meet that
goal?

In either case, with Maven 2, the solution (as far as I know) is
simply to directly declare your dependency on Bob's Ace Logger v1.0.1.
Then you'll get that version.
