The current negotiated position is that our min OS requirement will bump to 10.13 and later in January. You also know that in the next couple of months, those numbers will change as Apple releases Mojave. The current plan of record is that we will support the in-market version of macOS (currently 10.13), and the previous release (10.12). The Powers That Be have mandated that we actively deprecate (read: block) support for older macOS versions as time moves forward, so we're not left in this situation we are now of awkwardly supporting macOS versions dating back several years. We think that's a fair deal, so we're not going to use negotiation time to change this. Also, 2016 VL users, and any O365 users on < 10.12 will simply get 16.16.x updates (mainly security related) until mainstream support runs out in October 2020. The base assumption going in, is that 10.12 or later is the minimum OS required for Office 2019 VL/Retail, and for continuing to receive new O365 features after 16.16. and I are hoping to meet with the 'Powers That Be' tomorrow and see if we can negotiate a better macOS support story going forward.

Paul Bowden who works on the Microsoft Office for Mac team is seeking feedback from customers. I'm just trying to spread awareness to an issue that may come to effect you in your organization. I'm not sure if anyone here is on the MacAdmins Slack but I'm guessing that's probably the best place to provide the feedback he's seeking. I just saw this posted on Jamf Nation and figured I'd raise awareness on Reddit.
