Keep in mind that C++ Standard has changed a lot in reasoned years, and
at least I would like to go with the new standard. If we stick to the
old code for long time it will make maintenance or development more
difficuilt.

Here is my thought.
AOO exists to serve a large segment of the "I need office software"
community which is, IMO at least, dis-served. Not everyone can
afford the latest and greatest PC, with the latest version of the
OS, and lots of RAM and disk. This is especially true in developing
countries. If you have recent hardware and software, you have lots
of options. If you don't, you are screwed.
right, an argument that oft got forgotten.
I wasn’t forgetting this argument. If we keep 4.1.x around then that
line can continue to be an option.
don't worry, I haven't meant you. ;-)
It was just general.
To maintain 4.1.x line is a task. We have not many people maintaining
release lines. Keeping more then 2 Release lines, can be difficult.
So with that in mind, baselining a "old" version of macOS (Oops...
OS X ;) ) makes sense.
Now, of course, you can build and run AOO on recent/current
versions of macOS and hardware. We want to ensure that those stuck
on older versions can also do that and, especially, ensure that our
community builds support them.
Sounds good and helpful.
I'm +1 for keeping the baseline for every OS as long as
(technically) possible on a low level.
My fear is that we end up in a situation where only one community
member has the ability to build and for whatever reason they disappear.
This is not an idle concern. It has happened twice with macOS.
When we haven't the knowledge anymore to support things then we have a
problem. Yes. But this is not special for the baseline of an OS.
I think there is. And it is users usage.
If we look at the numbers for MacOS X (I found some here:
https://gs.statcounter.com/macos-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide
We could assume that i.e. Lion is not important.
Maybe it would wise to ask people on Forums to vote which versions
should be kept. Kiving the community a choice, and a voice.
