I've submitted the French translation on some TeX related mailing lists
and forums. One guy had the following remark:

  ┌────
  │ On page 52 of the PDF, there's something about MacTeX in "Mac OS".  In
  │ fact, for a few years now, the operating system of the Mac, previously
  │ known as Mac OS X, then OS X, is now called macOS (to create a harmony
  │ with the name iOS and the lesser known watchOS and tvOS). In the
  │ twentieth century, the system for the Mac was called Mac OS, it was
  │ based on the original Macintosh system released in 1984. The name change
  │ (from Mac OS to Mac OS X) was made in 2001, thanks to a drastic change
  │ in the components and architecture of the system (now based on Unix,
  │ hence the X in the name). In short, all this pavement to say that MacOS
  │ should be written since June 2016 (see the introduction of the article
  │ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS).
  └────

Should we follow this new naming? If so, everywhere except, in the
history of the previous versions of TL, for the years before 2016?
