That conclusion might be hard to sustain if there's some LTS distro
using not-the-latest patch version.  However, I don't believe that's
an issue for these particular meson versions.

We should, however, document that the minimum meson version is 0.57.2
not just 0.57, if we're aware of issues like this.
