Comment (by ryandesign):
I trust a bundled copy of libuv even less. If it's older, then it may have
bugs or security issues. And the developers of cmake are likely to update
the bundled library to a newer version eventually at which point the new
OS version requirements of that new libuv version would take effect,
likely without whoever updates the cmake port to that version noticing.
I don't know if this is still accurate but a
[https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2016-November/064567.html mailing list
thread from 2016] says libuv is only used for server mode which can be
disabled with `-DCMake_ENABLE_SERVER_MODE=OFF` or `-DCMAKE_USE_LIBUV=OFF`.
