Azure pipelines (use by conda-forge) still offers macos x86_64 machines, but they are not Trusted Publishers to PyPI. So if we choose to use them to create wheels in the numpy-release repo, we could continue to manually upload those wheels. This has some security risks. In issue 29178 [0] Ralf laid out a security roadmap that includes Trusted Publishing as a goal. Personally, I feel we should be one of the last libraries to stop publishing binary wheels, and perhaps in the security risk vs. usability balance we could choose to manually upload wheels for another year or so.
