Generally speaking, yes. All fact values are strings, and the language
docs specify that the behavior of the <, <=, >=, and > operators is
undefined for strings. For this particular case, however, Alessandro
Ogier's suggestion to use the versioncmp() function is an excellent one.
Not only is it easy to use, but it still does what you (probably) want when
you compare against, say, version 6.11.
