[ruby-core:106397] [Ruby master Feature#18376] Version comparison API

Issue #18376 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr鱈guez).


I'm definitely aware that this is used for what you point out. But most gem authors just use it and don't worry about "what if rubygems is not available?", which I think it's reasonable because rubygems is part of ruby and they are developing a gem after all.

Feature #18376: Version comparison API
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18376#change-95035

----------------------------------------
Is there a chance to have version comparison API? For example if `Gem::Version` was extracted into `::Version`. This idea was triggered by this PR [1] and [2], where the `Gem::Version` API is used for comparing Ruby versions. While RubyGems might be available everywhere, it does not look correct to introduce dependencies on RubyGems into libraries which could run without them just fine.
