I'll leave this up to the osx devs and users since I'm not in a position
to make an informed decision.  I'm not sure how much sense it makes to
support versions of osx the apple no longer supports.  I'm guessing
folks who don't or can't upgrade can still build kicad on their systems
even if we can no longer support them.
