To be fair, I did invite debate. I don't mind if it happens here. :D

Sounds like the debate might be fairly short, though. I was hoping the
choice of Make came from that old Debian box. But since it's actually
coming from Apple and I guess they have no plans to ever update... I
don't think you all need to change macOS setups on my account. I'd
imagine that people are not writing new Makefile macros very often.

Is there maybe a wiki page where we gather the reasoning for our
pinned minimum versions? None of my searches turned anything up, but
it might help accelerate some of these conversations.

Thanks!
