If we're going to continue to recommend the Mac Mini, we need to be explicit about either year (2014) or model numbers, and probably make a point of saying the 2018 ones won't work.

As of your changes in 2732588 we at least have a warning to that effect. I think we should keep the docs around (given the significant install base on Mic Mini), but we shouldn't say that "we currently recommend .. the Mac Mini". I'll take a stab at refactoring this section accordingly in a follow-up commit in this PR.

This is now done; @zenmonkeykstop, could you take another look?

Leaving out the Mac Mini altogether here is probably safest. it's not like the 2014s will be easily commercially available much longer.

Kicking the failed |
Part of #3826
Resolves #3197
Given the lack of compatibility with the latest Mac Minis, this PR also makes it clear that they are not officially recommended hardware (while keeping the docs around for existing installs on the 2014 model).
