Well, the minimum supported version has always been the oldest version 
that actually works.  I don't think we ever said, we support >= X, even 
though < X still actually works, about any dependency.

I don't care much to tie this to Meson right now.  Meson might well move 
to 3.8 next week and ruin this whole scheme.

I'm okay with issuing some sort of recommendation for what is reasonable 
to test, and 3.5 or 3.6 seems like a good cutoff, considering what LTS 
OS currently ship.  But I'm not sure if that is the same as "support".
