Should we drop OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)? With Qt and OS X always being a finicky pair, I am trying to narrow down the combinations we support. Since Apple stopped supported OS X 10.11 as of [August 2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_El_Capitan), does it make sense to focus on [10.12 (Sierra)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Sierra) and above?

Oh man, that’s going to force me to upgrade 🙂 I didn’t realize it was end-of-lifed…
