I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, I'd like to disable scripting on the macOS nightlies until it's fixed, so macOS users still *have* nightlies. On the other hand, I worry that doing so will remove motivation to actually fix it.
Is anyone actually _actively working on a fix_? I keep seeing chatter about this, but no actual attempts to fix it. Honestly I think the patch that broke the build should be reverted until a fix can be prepared, but considering who submitted it, I doubt I'll have any say there.
