It works in Python 2.7 so I think it was viewed as a regression.

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:39:59) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from distutils.version import LooseVersion as v
>>> v('a') < v('0')
False

But if 'a' is invalid, then LooseVersion should refuse to accept it in its
constructor, right?
