That's a no-go, most of our developers use Windows.

Yes that could be a possibility, the only issue with that is i cannot
use `cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.xy)` to make sure developers use
the right version.
And once 3.14 is released, i won't have any ways to check if
developers uses 3.14 'special' or 3.14 'official'.
