I see versions as introduced to take the time part (_the most recent_)
out of equation.
Rules described in "Version Order Specification", when followed result in:
> $java -jar maven-artifact-3.6.3.jar 2.0 2.0-EDR
> Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:

It doesn't matter that 2.0 is "the most recent" as time is not
considered, (if not explicitly embedded in version). You decided for
EDR/PRD qualifiers, and they are treated in that way.

Because _it is_ per rules of Version Order Specification:
> $ java -jar maven-artifact-3.6.3.jar 2.0-PRD 2.0-EDR 2.0
> Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
> 1. 2.0-PRD == 2-prd
> 2.0-PRD > 2.0-EDR
> 2. 2.0-EDR == 2-edr
> 2.0-EDR > 2.0
> 3. 2.0 == 2
It's treated as version 2.0-even-later-than-service pack (special
token "sp" I guess).
If JSR 385 API is not happy with the maven-way - I'm pretty sure its
Release Notes/SCM Plan are clear about version order and
(non-standard) qualifiers used. As version scheme used works against
maven rules, the responsibility of choosing the correct version is
delegated to client (taken out of tools using VOS Rules).

Bug, as reported one? Can you share the ticket number? Or example.
Because current maven does not assume that:
> $ java -jar /usr/local/maven/lib/maven-artifact-3.6.3.jar x.y-rc02 x.y-rc1
> Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:

> x.y-rc02 > x.y-rc1
> 2. x.y-rc1 == x.y-rc-1
or
