Sigh…. I have been fighting that with various software development houses for a long time.  Then they go on and change things naming them after years.  So it goes from version 8.6 to version 2009.   Then they think it is cute to add a 4th digit to the system.

I suppose it is better than the 90s where every upgrade started adding a name, “turbo”, “pro”, “better than our sucky last version” to the software name.

Could the mapping of OS versions just be an equivalence file (small) that is updated along with the self-update?  Not part of the code but just a text TSV file?

But the newly released macOS11.6 is NOT darwin20.7. Apple kept the underlying layer at darwin20.6. Our script goes KABOOM!
