There are things (Install test tools and PreUpgrade f'rinstance) that
might want to do version comparisons, such as:
# Support for stage2=XXX was added in F9Beta
if dist.version >= 8.92:
...
I suppose we could also do that by comparing the timestamps (and keeping
a map of release -> timestamp).. but I'm pretty sure there are other
tools that look at the release number to make various decisions about
how to deal with the system.
