MP 1,1-5,1 Does Security Update 2020-003 nag a MP5,1 to update to macOS Mojave?

I use an Nvidia card in my MacPro5,1 so unfortunately, upgrading to Mojave is not an option for me.

With Security Update 2020-003 and the deprecation of the ignore software updates command, does macOS High Sierra nag you to update to Mojave at all?

the ignore software updates command is deprecated!
the ability to ignore individual updates will be removed in a future release of macOS.

That is a deprecation notice. Which is all well and good but people are reporting that the feature has already stopped working. If that is the case, then this is a bug as with deprecation of a feature, it should still work as expected. We should all file bug reports with Apple on this issue.

and yes, it dosn't work after the SU 2020-003 installation process
a SU (security update) is a systemupdate since years

Just stay on 2020-002, chances are there won't be any more updates for HS now before 10.16 release.
What's the difference between su-002 and su-003, when your running an old os anyway......

 

[Demigod Mac]

Went ahead and updated. No nagging at all.
"No Updates Available" in the update check, so all is good.

Updated to SU 2020-003.
Had to redo Innie and a couple of days later, there was an updated nVidia driver available.
So nothing unusual for me.

Should I update in the context of security? I suspect that it will be one of the last updates for HS. Is it possible that even in the near future, Apple will force me to install another OS or "buy a new Macbook", or even worse, install something without my permission, rendering my current Macbook and High Sierra unusable? After all, if I do this 2020-003 update, I can no longer refuse or block anything when they want to install something !? As at that time e.g. the hidden performance slow-down on older iPhone types (battery issue). I don't have to think about this! After all, I would have to throw my MacbookPro away. This would be outrageous.

@lanzbulldog

your 2011 MBP will not ask for a systemupdate, it has no official support after highsierra

and security updates are system updates within a system version

Knowone can 'make' you update your Mac. It's like my G5, I can still turn it on and use it as is.
Plus Apple software updates are not auto installed (unless you select to by preference).
MacOS is not Windows...
Your only limitation is when software (apps) stop being supported with your current setup.

I am on HS (although I have Mojave on another disk just for fun), I have NEVER been prompted to update to Mojave on my main system disk.
