Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] 2.9.0 and 3.0.0 release schedule

Qt 5.12 would bump our minimum macOS requirement to 10.12. According to our web server logs, about 5% of our macOS visitors are still running 10.11 and 10.10. Which would generate more complaints: not supporting dark mode or not supporting older macOS releases?
