well not sure we have very clear document on that - I would say that the
buildfarm is the most authoritative answer to that. So I think skimming
the buildfarm for the oldest and strangest platforms would be a good start.

well I personally think the level to meet would be that all the systems
on the buildfarm that can build -HEAD at the time the patch is proposed
for a commit should be able to build using the new system with whatever
cmake version is available in those by default (if it is at all).
