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.)
