Comment (by bgamari):

 > I would propose that we treat at least the 2-3 most recent OS X releases
 as "core tier 1" of our tier 1 Apple support. At least as an informal
 guide post?

 I'd say we really can't do that unless we have the ability to readily test
 these releases. In principle
 [[https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms#Tier1platforms|Tier 1
 platforms]] are supposed to have a sponsor and some sort of regular
 testing.
