Among others from the cmake mailing list I have the impression that since we 
are using cmake quite a lot of people are switching to cmake (or at least 
playing around with it). So Debian has cmake, SUSE will have cmake AFAIK and 
other distros will have it too.
So I think/hope this won't be an issue anymore in a few months.

We don't have to force every cmake update on every developer (although it 
would make some things easier for me :-P 
So the next update will be due four months after the last required update.
I don't know of any open issues with cmake 2.4.3 (performance tuning doesn't 
count here).
