Thanks for the review; updated.

Well, depends on how you define "common", I suppose - it gets called every time
a new kernel is installed, which is pretty common :)

I'm not seeing a better place for it - are you?
It doesn't belong in grub or kernel-install because adding a build dependency
on RPM doesn't make sense upstream. It doesn't belong in rpmdevtools because
it needs to be installed on every system and that isn't. Pretty much all it
does is provide a shell interface to a function from librpm.
Looking at other systems for precendent, a tool like this generally isn't
needed because `sort -V` is good enough - e.g., on Debian. Even so, the
comparison functionality at least is exposed by the core tool (`dpkg
--compare-versions`).
