Not being a Mac OS user myself, I cannot argue how useful this is for
its user-base. But provided most of the the Mac users can or do use
homebrew, I say go for it!

Hi all,
As you probably know, there is ongoing work on automating Jenkins
Core releases within the Jenkins infrastructure. Apart from Linux
and Windows distributions, there is also a OS X installer which is
being produced for each Weekly and LTS release in the current
release environment (download link
<https://jenkins.io/download/thank-you-downloading-osx-installer-stable/>).
There are also a homebrew formula
<https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/jenkins> being maintained by the
HomeBrew community, these packages are even listed in our
installation guide <https://jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/#macos>.
In the new environment we use MS Azure, and there is no good way to
produce OS X builds there, because they require MacOS. We could use
an external service for that, but it would add additional point of
failure and implementation/maintenance overhead. Since the HomeBrew
is a defacto standard in MacOS, I do not think it worth the effort.
What f we just stop shipping them?
Implementation plan:
* Deprecate in the next weekly releases
o It requires a changelog entry in one of the next weekly
releases + LTS upgrade guideline entry + likely a
deprecation blogpost
* Use HomeBrew as a recommended source of MacOS installers, mark
it as a 3rd-party installer like we do for other downloads
*
* Remove MacOS native packaging from Jenkins release Pipelines
once we fully switch to automated releases
WDYT?
Best regards,
Oleg
