Unless you want to build with Qt5:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/cmake-manual.html
states:
 CMake is a 3rd party tool with its own documentation. The rest of this
 manual details the specifics of how to use Qt 5 with CMake. The minimum
 version required to use Qt5 is CMake 2.8.3, but 2.8.9 is recommended."

So people who want a Qt5 version will not be happy with an old cmake.
On the other hand: The setup script for macos has an option to add cmake
to the list of tools/libs to download and build, so it isn't a really
unusual situation and it isn't hard to handle either.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
