Then I don't approve of your patch :-)

If the user didn't set anything, the minimum version is 4.0.0 (no one 
should be using pre-4.0 releases anymore).

If the major is set, it has to be 4. Otherwise, error out.

If the minor isn't set, set min version to 4.0.0. If it is set, set 
minimum version to 4.x.0.

We shouldn't need dependencies on patch-level releases.
