--- Comment #1 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> ---
[More about context background than specifics of the
change proposed.]

Using 1401??? as an example context for illustration,
thinking of kmod type ports where the likes of
releng/14.1 and releng/14.2 need not be compatible
(and are not):

At some point 1401[5-9]?? ( stable/14 ) became more like
1402000 such that using builds for 1401[0-4]?? would no
longer be appropriate, much like for the later 1402000
( releng/14.2 ).

14015?? - 1401[0-4]?? < 100000

So there is a context for which comparison of more
of the value would be appropriate than just 14 vs.
14, or even than just 1401 vs. 1401.

Folks using such kmod packages and dealing with
1402[0-4]?? vs. builds for 1401[0-4]?? would have
reasons to be warned as well, using even more of the
full value than just 14 vs. 14. 1402 vs. 1401 can be
a reason to see warnings/prompts for such contexts.

main [so: 1500[0-4]?? as stands] having incompatibilities
over time before before its releng/15.0 status could
also lead to comparisons of more of the value being
appropriate than comparisons of just 15 vs. 15 or
even 1500 vs. 1500. (Official packages built for main,
instead of for a release.) Comparing the full value can
be appropriate for warnings/prompts for such contexts.
