I should also have mentioned that we're supporting a number of other
platforms at the same time.. hence our use of cmake. And would rather
not have to maintain cmake files that are lowest-common-denominator for
the version of cmake that has to continue working on OS X 10.6

request/demand! It's not fun. I've had to hack tools around to get
somewhat newer tool chains to continue to work, but it's been /great/
that cmake hasn't been an obstacle in this endeavour.

Given Apple's encouragement of developers to always update...
They certainly do, as Eric described. However, just like everyone
else, Apple often ships regressions in Xcode and it's sometimes vital
to be able to use older versions. Similarly, if you want to deploy
an app to an older OS, it's very useful to be able to build-run-debug
on that OS, and since the newest Xcodes only run on the newest OSes,
one needs an older Xcode to test/debug on older OSes.
if a project relies on an old xcode version, does it need to use the
most up-to-date cmake? also, there are always make/ninja generators ...
