This is way too early to decide this. This is a decision to be made
when we're actually ready to try publishing it for regular consumption
(not for the people developing it).
For the sake of just sticking a number in that place in the cmake file
for now, I recommend 3.16 as this is what is in Ubuntu 20.04. It may
take us a few months to develop the cmake system, or it may take
years, but hopefully not so many years that Ubuntu 20.04 becomes
irrelevant. Better to downgrade in the end if necessary.
