Status on macOS Sequoia? (v.15)

[Mark E Anderson]

There are a number of tickets out on the Trac - I've been running it for a while and haven't had too many issues, but it won't be smooth exactly. Also, I don't think many people are out there testing so I'm sure there are hidden issues. qt5 and qt6 come to mind, but I have a workaround. There are some compiler bugs with workarounds too.  But if you have MUST run Portfiles, I'd recommend waiting a few weeks after the GA drops.
