My suggested naming:
compiled for macOS 10.10+
32-bit ("i386") Macintosh version for OS X 10.7 or later; can load old, 32-bit external libraries
64-bit Macintosh version for OS X 10.7 or later
To be (overly) pedantic :) the naming is officially "Mac OS X" from 10.0 - 10.7, "OS X" from 10.8 - 10.11, then macOS 10.12 to now, as least on Wikipedia. That being said (written?) I find it confusing that OS "X" already stands for OS 10 since it follows OS 9.
Anyway, I agree with Alex that "macos7" is a misnomer and it would be better as "macosx107" or something similar as we are all used to "10.7." I can see why Apple finally bit the bullet and went to macOS 11 as it can get out of this X cycle.
Note: If/when we have builds linked to newer JACK builds, they will require macOS 10.12+.

So I guess they should be labeled "Macintosh OS 10.10 or later" and "Macintosh OS 10.7-9". I'm not sure if "macos7" works on 10.10 or not, but I don't think it matters much :)
