I'm happy to report this via the appropriate channel. Would that be<br>

However, we consider this bug fixed. It has been fixed in OTP 22 and does not exist in OTP 23. This is more or less the same scenario as in the "EOL plans for major versions" thread.

The older the release is, the less attention it gets. In practice these<br>> preceding releases get quite a lot of fixes.<br>><br>> In this specific case MacOS Catalina was not available when OTP 21 was<br>> current release and has therefore not gotten any fixes for Catalina.<br>><br><br><div>Regards,<br></div><div>Rickard<font color="#888888"><br></font></div></div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr">Rickard Green, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB</div></div></div></div></div>
