+ alpha build found: Windows signing failed, as part of the Windows 7&8 removal
+ stop shipping 64bit explorer extension/activex component in 32bit windows builds (Cloph)
+ were already missing related 64bit msvc dlls since https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/178049 (removing ucrts, related to no longer supporting windows 7/8.1 also removed the package definition for the msvc dlls)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185564/ (drop activex_64 in 32bit builds)
+ assuming that the COM / Windows scripting is independent from this (Miklos)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185565/ (drop 64bit windows explorer extension from the 32bit builds)
+ [ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185566/ (additional cleanup) ]

+ macOS build baseline - build on macOS 12 / Xcode 14.2 broken
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/182281 removed workaround for android/also needed on Xcode 14.2
+ other changes like https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/181068 also would
need same workarounds reinstated
+ also std::unordered_map not available https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185399
+ doesn't affect the runtime baseline
+ proposal: macOS 13 as a baseline for building + Xcode 14.3 or newer
AI: Cloph to update the core.git README.md for the new baseline
+ new Windows baseline timeline for VS2022? (Miklos)
+ use-case: pdfium is built using clang-cl and newer pdfium doesn't build against VS2019 anymore and is hard to fix
+ planned for the 25.8 cycle (Cloph)

+ think it would be before end of June
