I'd like to hear others opinions, but what I've done is once one of my

You didn't mention if you were on Linux or Windows but if you're running a
Linux distro you could probably do the same.
I personally rather dislike that distributions introduce behavior
changes since it might result in your project not only depending on a
specific version of CMake but also a specific variant as introduced by
the distribution you are working on.
It also results in people submitting issues with vanilla CMake which
might be specific to distribution patches (e.g. [1]).
