The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
NEW behaviors.
+
+* Compatibility with versions of CMake older than 2.8.12 is now deprecated
+ and will be removed from a future version. Calls to
+ :command:`cmake_minimum_required` or :command:`cmake_policy` that set
+ the policy version to an older value now issue a deprecation diagnostic.
