Then Linux 2.6.39 shouldn't have been followed by Linux 3.0

For me, 1.0 and 1.0.0 are the same thing.

It's fine if x.y is not a valid "PHP-standardized" version number,
and version_compare is thus undefined for it (despite lack of
definition of what forms a "PHP-standardized" version number).
But forcing third-parties to change their release numbers just to
please version_compare() is non-sense.
And if versoin_compare behavior is undefined for them, it can
(theoretically) be harmlessly changed.
