That is what was the case before applying the patch, so it's no change
for those commands.

Sorry, I was imprecise here -- I didn't mean that we should change
`version-to-list' itself here, but add a new function that's more
permissive, just for use in this context. It would basically be
something along the lines of (version-to-list (car (split-string string)))

That would be up to the package maintainers -- they get to choose what
Emacs version(s) the obsolete command would show up in `M-x TAB'
completions.
