MacTeX requires 10.12. The "your system is too old" part is correct,
but the version cut is wrong, it should say that 10.12 is required.
This needs to be fixed. Karl? (I'm afraid we'll hit the exact same
problem next year as this needs to be changed in multiple locations.)

TeX Live should still work on 10.11 with legacy binaries, just not
MacTeX itself.
