macOS 12 is our minimum supported version for x86_64, and macos 14 is our minimum supported version for ARM64/Apple Silicon. v8 accidentally ended support for older versions at some point - this change is formalizing that. Efforts were made to continue support for older verions, but it is not sustainable.
We now generate binary wheels for musllinux-aarch64 (Alpine ARM64).
