Bingo. IMO, it's too bad that it changed and broke your code, but relying
on None comparing to an integer a particular way is Sick and Wrong. ;-)
You're not even comparing apples and oranges; it's like asking if the
color blue is less than my left shoe.

Sure! How about this: "No integer is equal to None (testing for equality
always returns false), and the results of other integer-to-None comparison
operations are undefined."

The real solution is to fix your code. Readable, explicit code almost
always beats nifty magic tricks.
