[CMake] L

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi all.

I am not using OpenBLAS so this is really just a tangential comment, but I
can understand that in a production setting, it can be easier to update a
library than to update something as fundamental to the build process as
CMake. To the point where the former is authorisable on a much lower
hierarchy level. Perhaps simply because it only affects a small fraction of
the entire project, whereas a change in CMake affects everything.
