You just said that all the code I've showed is not correct and conflicts with policies nature. So I have to ask you about the real code, because looks like in your "world" there is no valid case of `cmake_policy` usage and the only correct way to set policies is to use `cmake_minimum_required` command. Hence it's not surprising that you can't distinguish `cmake_minimum_required` and behavior controlled by `cmake_policy`.

So why the project in the middle of the migration process is not a valid case? It is maintained but the exact migration step is paused, but I have an intention to improve the code in future. Anyway even if the project is no longer maintained, then what we have? We have `cmake_minimum_required` with the version that fits **features** the code has and `cmake_policy` to control the **behavior** of different cmake versions. > Or as I said cmake's testsuite. > > If you insist on actual code e.g. this is part of the tests that I > wrote for CMP0054: > https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Tests/RunCMake/CMP0054/CMP0054-NEW.cmake;h=23a912476024ba09fcf741e04f999b64a6e91450;hb=refs/heads/master > The internal CMake stuff is out of the scope of discussion. If policies are the internals why do we need them in the documentation?
