Comment (by jonesc@…):

 Actually, looking at the commit message it appears adding support for
 10.12 removes support for some older OSes (<10.9).

 https://root.cern.ch/gitweb/?p=root.git;a=commit;h=c06fdeae0b3b4d627aacef2bda9df0acd079626b

 Its not clear to me whats more important for a legacy package like root5,
 to support older or newer OSes.

 I'll need to run some test once the new tag is out, but if as the above
 suggests it removes support for older OSes, I am more include to keep
 root5 on the current version to support the older OSes, and just deprecate
 support for Sierra, as users of the newer OS should anyway be looking to
 migrate to root6 in my opinion.
