It could matter if I was building RPMs using meson. I am not. I don't have any plans to do so in near future. Anyway, I think v21 will be a reasonable version to stop supporting RHEL 8. At that point I will be happy to switch to meson builds. Until then feel free to use any reasonable meson version. The version on RHEL 9 could be a good minimum choice: meson -> 0.63.3 , ninja-build: 1.10.2 per the reasons stated in this thread.
