Apple Silicon builds also require macOS 13 Ventura, +as that is the oldest macOS version available on M1-based runners. + +Additionally, Intel builds minimum required macOS version has been increased +from macOS 11 Big Sur, to macOS 12 Monterey. This was needed as Homebrew no +longer supports Big Sur, leading to very lengthy and error prone builds as all +Homebrew dependencies had to be installed from source. + +If dropping support for macOS 11 turns out to be a big issue, it may be possible +to offer macOS 11 compatible builds on a less frequent schedule similar to what +we're doing with Apple Silicon.
