In the absence of a quick response from Simon (and you wrote to a list, 
not a person):

Note that 3.4.0 does not have a release date yet (except not before Apr 15).

Discussion on the minimal supported macOS version and supported 
toolchains has started, but I don't expect decisions until the 
month-long run-in period for 3.4.0.  I am sure once that is in place, 
binary packages will be produced when possible.
