+1! 

Getting homebrew to properly build and install Mesos __including__ the native 
eggs on OSX is hard to solve in a reliable way due to the way distutils work as 
mentioned in MESOS-799 and also as described in 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20733512/mesos-examplestest-pythonframework-check-fails-on-osx/20733513#20733513.
 If Apple was distributing a clang built Python, things were a lot easier. 

Even though Mesos is not commonly used in production on OSX (missing isolation 
is one of the deal-breakers), it definitely is used a lot on OSX by developers. 
Allowing it to be used on OSX is IMHO a huge gainer when it comes to lowering 
the entry hurdle on becoming a Mesos developer. Hence making sure the Mesos 
homebrew recipe works flawlessly should IMHO be of a very high priority for us.

> For many developers the {{brew install mesos}} path is the first exposure to 
> Mesos. Currently this is maintained best-efforts by the community, and 
> they're not doing very well.
> Example: current Mesos compatibility is stuck in this PR: 
> https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/37087/
> By adding this to the release checklist we can ensure developers can get the 
> latest version easily.
