OK, but it's totally unrelated to the bump of CMake.

Would be good to give a sense of how many packages where tested. It's
just that from our experience, bumping the packages implementing a
build system (cmake, meson, etc.) tend to break quite a bit of stuff,
and a 3.8 -> 3.15 bump is quite significant for cmake.
