Comment (by dd32):

 I don't think we should change anything here myself. Versions numbers are
 not supposed to follow human decimal rules, so `1.04` should be read as
 `1.4`.
 The best way to think about it, is to drop the decimal notation you're
 accustomed to and read it as `major: 1, minor: 04`, `major: 1, minor: 1` -
 so in that case `04 > 1`.

 `version_compare()` is designed to handle PHP-formatted version strings,
 which are the same strings WordPress is built to expect.  There's a bit of
 a blurb on http://php.net/version_compare on how it works.
