Sounds like the Common Lisp approach, where there are editions or what they call them and those are sets of dependencies at specific versions.

But the problem with that is, when you need another version of a library, that is not in that edition. For example when a backdoor or CVE gets discovered, that you have to fix asap, you might not want to wait for the next Maven release. Furthermore, Maven is Java ecosystem stuff, where things tend to move quite slowly (enterprisey) and comes with its own set of issues.
