Subject: [MacTUG] Guesstimates for Apple support of El Cap

As High Sierra (with its scary APFS - Apple File System) arriving soon, a few of my users (and myself) are wondering how long El Cap will be support with security updates etc. I am thinking another year or so (as most of the OSes seem to have gotten security updates for that long)

What are other guesses?

Speaking of High Sierra, anyone tested it yet, especially with regards to the imaging tools we use? Of course you remember the rumors that third party imagers would not work on this File System so I am currious
