The result of the discussion was Delete. Not used nor useful. Note that I also deleted four unused redirects to these templates, per wp:CSD#G8 - Nabla (talk) 22:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Both were used to update the infobox at OS X El Capitan, but I merged the information back into the article. The infobox is not the only place where the version needs to be updated and this was overlooked a couple of times. Active development of the OS will stop very soon anyway and I think that a template is not warranted anymore, considering WP:TG #1. –Totie (talk) 22:59, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, for both templates. For OSes as a whole, those templates are convenient - especially if you have both "update for current release" and "new release" betas, unless there's some magic trick to make them show up well if the versions are put into the template - but they don't help as much for OS versions, and OS X versions traditionally haven't had templates for this.
