Sorry we couldn’t support this for longer :(

From the release notes:

> The Intel support decision reflects the limits of a volunteer-run project: Apple have dropped Intel x86_64 support from macOS 27 Golden Gate and GitHub Actions will retire Intel macOS runners in autumn 2027. If Apple and Microsoft’s GitHub, two of the world’s largest technology companies, cannot continue supporting macOS Intel x86_64, sadly neither can Homebrew. MacPorts still supports macOS Intel x86_64 and is likely to provide better results on this platform.

My personal opinion, but I'd rather see wider macOS support than Linux support, if it's a sheer matter of where time is allocated.

Linux already has world class package managers.

How come that MacPorts supports macOS versions all the way back to 10.5 Leopard in the latest version?

Thank you for all of your hard work, I’ve been very happily using Homebrew on OS X / macOS since 2010.

No need to be sorry, the situation is understandable.
