@benfry Do you have thoughts on this? I'm wondering if it switches one too-specific name for "Mac" with another. @gohai This is a great catch. Is "macOS" the right change?

Yeah, starting with Sierra (10.2), it's called macOS. I think we can change it in the docs, but at the moment, we're a little broken on Sierra anyway. And technically, 10.11 and earlier are still Mac OS X. (And System 8.x and earlier is MacOS! I could go on for days…)

I've been just updating it as I go, in particular, when I see a reference that's referring to the whole platform, rather than a specific OS version.

Bottom line, I don't think it's a high priority. It's just Apple marketing crap.

Agree. Perhaps the more generic "Mac" is better then. No big deal in any way.

Yeah, though “Mac” is the machine, “macOS” is the software, so…
