A couple of cmake updates have triggered very large problems as many packages will become FTBFS due to some change in cmake. This means that it isn't just a matter of updating the packages, but then building all the packages which use cmake to see if they will break, finding patches to those packages and then presenting that all as a way to get a new version of CMAKE into the system. This usually can be set up via COPR to show what is happening and what the risk of doing this change. A large version change also usually requires additional announcements to the lists via the FESCO change process to make sure that people who may be affected by inadvertently (the CMAKE change caused a change in a library which then required a recompile of something that didn't even use cmake, etc.)

Yes, not sure what is wrong exactly but I'm seeing this quite often. Not
important though...
