I just wanted to add that Kris is the person who makes things happen in
GIMP for macOS. As far as I am concerned, as said earlier, he is therefore
the one who should call the shots regarding such macOS build questions,
rather than a vote (unless he wants to decide through a vote himself)
because in the end, he is the one who has to make the grunt work here (as a
volunteer, I remind).
