add announcement for dropping MacOS<10.13 by h-vetinari · Pull Request #1993 · conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io (original) (raw)

First step according to the TODO List here.

While the stance of upstream CPython does not affect our infrastructure & metadata per se, it's worth noting that discussion on DPO started by @jakirkham to this effect is still fresh, and it sounds like CPython will also upgrade "in the not too distant future", and might jump even further (e.g. 10.15 or 11.0). We can still choose to follow suit with such a step later on, but moving to 10.13 now is (effectively) necessary to unblock abseil, grpc, protobuf, (and soon) libcxx etc., so IMO we shouldn't wait for however long CPython takes to come to a decision on that.

I've added a second commit that clarifies our support stance (pointing out how it is "best effort"), but I can drop that if anyone disagrees.
