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".
