So you can't get FMW to run on 10.13 without workarounds? If the cutoff was set to
10.14, we wouldn't be able to utilize our old Mac Mini 2011 that we have for testing
in Brno office. 10.13 is the latest Mac OS X we can get to it.
Correct

Therefore I create USB sticks via other means.
I think there is a workaround Fedora could employ in the FMW signing
process, but my recollection is it's a PITA and not really worth the
effort, despite a bunch of hardware being abandoned to 10.13. I have a
2011 MacBook Pro that's also stuck on 10.13.
