* macOS runtime baseline (Eivind, from mailing list)
    + proposal:
        + runtime: bump requirement from 10.10 to 10.11
        + also deprecate <10.14
    + rationale: “Then a depreciation warning should be put in for 10.12-13 as they will not receive security fixes past this fall”
    + prefer to have input from Cloph and Stephan (Xisco)
    + bump to 10.10 was just a year ago, so maybe jump to 10.11 may be too new
    + a year ago, 10.10 was 6.24%, and halved since then (Ilmari)
=> postponing till next week
    + if there is something in the code, then decide to drop the 10.10 version, not the other way around (Stephan)
      + same as Windows 7 (Miklos)
    + fine with deprecation for 10.10 & 10.11 on master/7.1 (Cloph)
AI:      + will put the deprecation notice to the 7.0 release notes (Ilmari)
    + Metal via skia would need this (Ilmari)
      + in theory
