So, since both Qt 6.5 and 6.6 support CMake >= 3.16, that rather speaks
against requiring a newer CMake version in KDE Frameworks at this time.
As long as there is no concrete functionality added in CMake 3.17 to 3.22
that is needed, I do not see a good reason to desupport 3.16 to 3.21 just
yet.
The removal of CMake < 3.5 compatibility support in CMake 4.0 is also no
good reason. It would be one if the current minimum required version were
below 3.5, but 3.16 is above 3.5 (in version number arithmetic).
