You mean Apple's decision to change the name or the patch ;-)

The thing is that "MacOS X" is a misspelled form of "Mac OS X", the 
former OS name, so my script reports it as a typo[1]. And it is with 
spelling issues as with warnings or test failures: if you let them 
accumulate you soon cannot tell what's new from what's not[2].

So I can either change that to one of the official names or disable this 
specific check for Wine. So even though it's a minor issue I typically 
prefer to just send a patch once in a while. But I can disable this 
check if you prefer.



[1] Although the X is part of 'X server' the script is still right:
    it's my understanding that the OS name is either 'Mac OS X' or
    'OS X' or now 'macOS', but cannot be 'MacOS'.

[2] And people also copy / paste the bad spelling or get influenced by 
    it; both cases leading to the spread of the misspelled form.
