In that case, we should add this line to the Portfile to prevent installation on macOS 10.13 (Darwin 17) or earlier:

platforms {darwin >= 18}

If your goal is to get this software to work on macOS 10.13 or earlier, you can file a bug report with the developers; it would be up to them to make such a change.

My goal was to notify potential installers as to why it would not work and have that message visible to developers or maintainers. But yes, I have now notified the developers by opening an issue on their GitHub. Thanks!
