Where are you seeing brew no longer supporting macOS < 10.11 ?
On the brew website I see:
10.10 or higher is recommended. 10.5–10.9 are supported on a best-effort basis. For 10.4 see Tigerbrew. -

I see it when I run it in 10.8 - 10.10 using VM installs of 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10
Also, ssl certs are not maintained anymore by apple and thus the ruby installer barely works if at all. There are workarounds but they are a pain in the behind.
The brew team has not updated their website to reflect what is in their code.
To reproduce the issue you will need to install each version of Mac OS X to confirm via VM or on an older machine. I will leave another comment later with screen shot soon.

I just realized that I misread what you wanted me to do(I just woke up at the time). Do you want me to revert the changes for the line "Tested on" back to Mac OS X 10.8... Or are the new changes better. The new changes may be better to help avoid further confusion for others, which means less issue posts. But this is your house so whatever you say goes. LOL

I am having a heck of a time trying to squash this. "Allow edits from maintainers" is checked. Any help would be appreciated.
