Given that Mojave is the last version of macOS that supports 32-bit programs and arbitrary kexts, and that doesn't have ridiculous call-home mechanics for every program invocation, I hope Apple supports Mojave for as long as possible.
I never upgraded from Mojave and plan not to, I will retire my Mac Mini as an OS X machine sooner or later (once Apple stops updates). Mojave just seems like a giant pain and I have some iTunes Applescripts from ages ago that I don't want to mess with or re-engineer for Music or whatever it's called now. Does Apple even still support Applescript? I don't keep up on Apple any more.
That's just the thing though, Apple isn't going out of its way to tell me their plans.
A couple years ago Apple decided to get rid of all my notes I had made in files in the Get Info tab's notes field. They switched the field to "tags" and simply threw away all the notes in all the resource forks, rather than even converting them to tags. About ten thousand notes, destroyed, no notification this would happen, nothing.
it looks like you have to install the bad older update "Security Update 2020-005" along with the "Supplemental Update" if you hadn't already installed the bad update in the first place, which seems odd at first, but sorta makes sense on second thought.
They re-released the Security Update 2020-005. Have not had the chance to see if it changed from the last version. I can say for sure that the Build Version did not change.
Note that while still getting support, this is a legacy operating system and was replaced by macOS Catalina (10.15) back in October 2019, which is soon to be replaced by macOS Big Sur (10.16).
I'm still running High Sierra. There's nothing compelling in Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur. They remove features I use and make the operating system generally worse. From all the news I've seen Catalina has been very buggy.

What does this even mean, other than that 10.14 is not the latest major macOS version, which we all already know, indeed can't ignore in Software Update?
You have to click "More info" under "Another update is available." to get the Mojave update. Not cool!
