[boost] Re: Is it time to raise our required CMake version?

This may be set too low for 2027. The minimum usable Ubuntu on Github Actions is 20.04, which has CMake 3.16. Boost installation requires 3.13. Boost.Python requires 3.14. (These are preexisting requirements, from the very beginning.) Opinions? Does anyone need CMake < 3.13? < 3.16? 3.16 seems like a good bar. I checked, and the oldest standard support version of Redhat is shipping CMake 3.26. Matt
