Many big users don't upgrade that often.
It has now been more almost 8 months since CMake-2.6.0 was released, and the question is really whether it has had enough time to propagate to the distributions most PLplot builders use. My gut feeling (based on my instinct that PLplot builders tend to be early adopters in any case) is yes, that has happened, and only a minority of PLplot builders would have to fall back to building CMake-2.6.x first before they built PLplot. But if you feel my suggested bump of the minimum version to 2.6.0 is so early that a majority of PLplot builders be forced into building CMake-2.6.x for themselves, then I would be willing to wait a couple more months to make this change.
