You can download it and even install it, but the Gatekeeper will stop you from 
executing the binary unless you relax your security settings in System 
Preferences. Franks problem was mainly that he still had an old install lying 
around, and his Dock shortcut still pointed to that one.

Perfect, perhaps start with a prominent note in README for Mac.

But a much better approach is to sign our OSX releases.

But I see tons of heated discussions about this topic already back in 2012 - 
were there ever a conclusion to whether the PMC was allowed to request a 
separate AOO signing ID, or if the ASF centrally were able/willing to setup a 
signing infrastructure using a central Apache signing ID? LibreOffice signs 
their OSX releases with a TDF identity.
