 WP releases versions with a mix of Major/Minor and Major/Minor/Release,
 which causes issues when using version_compare with a consistent
 annotation.

 e.g.
 WP 6.3
 WP 6.3.1

 If you use `version_compare( $wp_version, '6.3.0', '<' )` it will be
 unexpectedly true-ish for WP 6.3, since 6.3.0 is newer than 6.3 in PHP
 versioning.

 Versioning should be made consistent with Major/Minor/Release not only for
 WP core from the next release, but ideally also a requirement for all
 submitted plugins, to avoid unexpected behavior due to inconsistent
 versioning.
