#22711 Dropping Mac x86_64 support? New discussion created by cburroughs Reference: • actions/runner-images#13046 • actions/runner-images#13045 Currently, Pants supports x86_64 Macs by way of the

macos-13

runner provided by GitHub. These were deprecated this week and will be fully unsupported by December 4th. We have the option of either kicking the can down the road with

macos-15-intel

, or dropping Mac x86_64 support. My own view is that at this point it that at this point x86_64 Macs are uncommon and chasing flaky CI failures are not fun. `macos-15-intel`' is also something of a surprise. In prior discussion we had expected

macos-13

to be the end of the line. As a volunteer project, it doesn't make sense to support what is at this point a niche platform without ... well someone volunteering. I also think if a Sponsor wanted to retain support that would be reasonable. NOTE: To be able to support release branches we should make this decision before 2.30. pantsbuild/pants
