The pull request now contains two commits: > > - Merge branch 'master' into JDK-8341097-gha-no-mac-intel > - Fix As far as I can tell -- and this is very much like reading the tea leaves: - `macos-11` runners [started brownouts](https://github.blog/changelog/2024-05-20-actions-upcoming-changes-to-github-hosted-macos-runners/#macos-11-deprecation-and-removal) and got completely removed in June 2024 - `macos-12` runners [started brownouts](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/10721) in Nov 2024, and would be removed in Dec 2024 Pessimistically assuming the same 5-month interval, we may expect the brownouts and removals for `macos-13` runners somewhere in Apr 2025. If this happens, it would start affecting July 2025 CPU releases. But it should still be fine for JDK 24 GA. I say we integrate this PR in early "JDK 25" mainline, and let update releases pick it up, as the situation develops. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21257#issuecomment-2482864348
