Nah, I don't like that either.  I did a crude survey of ninja's version
history by seeing which version is in each recent Fedora release:

f20/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.4.0
f21/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.5.1
f22/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.5.3
f23/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.7.1
f24/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.7.2
f25/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.8.2
f26/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.8.2
f27/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.8.2
f28/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.8.2
f29/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.8.2
f30/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.9.0
f31/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.1
f32/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.1
f33/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.2
f34/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.2
f35/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.2
f36/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.2
f37/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.10.2
rawhide/ninja-build.spec:Version:        1.11.1

Remembering that Fedora has a six-month release cycle, this shows that
1.8.2 was around for awhile but 1.9.x was a real flash-in-the-pan.
We can probably get away with saying that you need 1.10 or newer.
That's already three-plus years old.
