Here's my perspective from the Fedora side of things (I package both cmake
and plplot for Fedora).  cmake 2.6.0 will be in F10.  F9 is basically
being built today and has 2.4.8.  I don't think 2.6.0 will be pushed to F9
anytime soon.  Fedora has a 6 month release cycle, so I would hope for
cmake 2.4.8 support for another 6 months until F10 is released and people
can really bang on it.  But we can live with whatever you decide to do.
