I think we should note that it's not necessarily a bug, just
suboptimal behavior. The portsnap indexer will so things up such that
OSREL comes out to be ${major}.x (e.g. "11.x") , and thus isn't
comparable as a float. Because of this, OSREL checks like this aren't
really safe to do as they will trivially break indexing in the
portsnap environment.
