I was going to comment that a proposal with no analysis and no rationale
was a little odd...
My opinion is that it's not a good thing to increase the required
version of dependencies for no good reason, unless it is truly free.

release, and I suspect some kind of Ubuntu LTS or Centos LTS will be the
long pole in the tent. So if there is a shared notion that some
particular version is the oldest that is likely to be encountered -- on
a platform which can otherwise buidl proj -- then moving to that seems
reasonable, just for housekeeping,
