Title: #254: Replace LooseVersion with pkg_resources.parse_version
tiran commented:
"""
In case you wonder what is going on, LooseVersion is both loose and dumb.
```
>>> ('el7',) < ('el7_2',)
True
```
The legacy version parser parses the version strings differently:
```
(-1, ('00000004', '00000002', '*final-', '00000015', '*el', '00000007',
'*final'))
(-1, ('00000004', '00000002', '*final-', '00000015', '*el', '00000007', '*_',
'00000002', '00000003', '*final'))
```
