I understand that. I would say write a function that compares the versions and gets the most correct, in the
most understandable way. Hopefully authors will get it, and start using one of the "correct" ways.

So, no, 6.1 < 7 is not as easy as one would think. This honestly happened to quite a few applications when Vista launched.

Yeah, it was a real problem, and it broke lots of programs, but it was
purely the result of bad/lazy programming, and not thinking forward (did they honestly think that XP was going to be the last version of windows ever?)

Sure, Delta 4 sounds cool, some people like the way "Vista" sounds. By all means, call your addon release/version whatever fancy name you want. But in the addon config file, give it a real version, cause the people looking there will appreciate a real one better than your cute name.

Excellent. That would help.
