A comment on Homebrew 6.0.0.

I have been used Homebrew for years, the first choice to install an App is using the `brew install --cask` command.

But can you please support old Mac too? As you upgrade brew, many brew break for old Mac since the old library/framework. And in this situation, i had to switch from brew to macports plus brew. It's a pain for old Mac to using brew.

Sorry, we don’t have the resources to do so. We are a team of volunteers and rely on donations to pay for our CI infrastructure.

MacPorts is a better fit for older hardware.
