I don't understand what this has to do with the Intel deprecation. Did Apple recently change something I'm not aware of?

I know that from the start Apple Silicon has required binaries to be signed with _a_ signature, but since that could be an ad-hoc signature this struck me as more of an implementation detail of the binary format than a significant policy shift. Otherwise, as far as I was aware the requirements were the same for Intel and Apple Silicon.

Also, is Homebrew planning to drop support for macOS 26 as soon as macOS 27 comes out in September 2026? I thought they supported the three most recent OS releases, as Apple does.

Edit: I decided to also ask these questions on the Github discussion. Either the maintainer is confused, or I'm confused, and I don't know which it is!
