Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 Pinning the version is particularly non-ideal for a port that receives
 security updates often; I would be more inclined to check `${os.major}`
 and refuse to build on 10.11 or earlier in this case. (Security risks are
 probably already compounded by running outdated/insecure OS versions.)

 I would be curious if there's an alternative non-EOL MySQL-like port to
 recommend instead, but it seems a number of them currently have problems
 building on 10.11 and earlier; the only working one I'm aware of is
 `mariadb-10.1` (which is EOL in a few months).
