This might be good enough but it's not "good" in absolute terms.
The < operator doesn't recognize embedded versions and compare them
correctly. While with recent versions

  "3.10.0" < "3.16.0" = True,

you also have

  "3.2.0" < "3.16.0" = False,  or
  "3.100.0" < "3.16.0" = True.

In fact, when you compare strings, I don't think there is any implicit
conversion or special treatment of numbers happening: try "010" < "1",
which returns True.

So, you didn't forget. It really doesn't work.

Best,
Tobias
