fwiw, github doesn't support FreeBSD runners. they also don't support older
versions of macOS than "oldest supported by Apple":
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources

there's probably more value to us having github CI test oldest+newest
ubuntu than anything macOS-related? (i'm volunteering now i think i
understand enough to copy & paste my way into trouble, if you want to do
that...)
