I think the answer is yes, we want about three years of cmake backwards compatibility. The goal of that is to make sure anyone can check out Linux in a random Linux distro from the last few years and they'll have a cmake version that works. Amusingly, developers on Windows and Mac tend to have more up-to-date developer tools, since they don't rely on a system package manager.
