Not sure which job to choose yet. Per the first google hits we
still want to cover Catalina first:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/944559/worldwide-macos-version-market-share/

...that page says that the figures for Catalina are "incorrectly
high", so not a very useful set of data for these purposes I think.

My general gut feeling is usually to prioritize testing older versions
as they tend to be more widely used, and we want to avoid regresions
on stuff that has been around the longest. Compatibility problems with
new releases tend to get reported by users/maintainers and would not
be regressions, but rather enhancements to support the new platform.

Note that technically speaking Catalina (10.15) has already fallen off
the end of our support policy (which currently requires Big Sur (11)
and Monterey (12) support, as the two most recent versions). My
personal macos x86 laptop is still running Catalina, though,
because Big Sur dropped support for that hardware :-/
That suggests that maybe Big Sur would be what we should go for
now if we have to pick just one for the CI.

OK. Since I'm running Monterey (12) on my workstation, I'll make this
job manual / nightly, and keep the Big Sur (11) on CI.

I'll let Daniel / Thomas / Alex decide which FreeBSD job to demote to
manual.

Regards,

Phil.
