Given that we haven’t received any reports about this from user projects in
the year since the code added this constraint, and that we expect to rely
more on the metatypes going forward rather than less, the CMake Ports team
proposes to raise the minimum CMake version for user projects to CMake
3.16. From what we can tell, the original target of 3.14 was likely based
on the CMake versions available in major Linux distributions at the time,
but 3.16 or later now seems to be widely enough available (Ubuntu 20.04 is
the main blocker for being able to go any higher than 3.16).
3.16.0 was tagged on Nov 2019, which is a little too close for comfort. For
comparison, we require GCC 8, which was released in May 2018.
However, given that no one has apparently complained and that upgrading cmake
is far easier than the compiler, I have no objections.
FWIW, on the Linux side, for KDE Frameworks we asked on the distributi...@kde.org ML that same
question recently, maybe the answers in that thread can help you:

Have a good day.
