I'm a strong believer in NOT forcing people to upgrade dependencies, especially for people that want to stick with what their distro gives them. It can be a pain to step outside the distro and manually upgrade something. I vote for the second option, use 19.1 if it exists, or fall back to the something that works for the older version. It might have been OK in the past to insist on bleeding edge libraries, but if we are aiming to get a release out soon, we better make sure we work fine on existing stable distros and their existing set of library versions. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
