Just for posterity, the Fx151 release note already omitted macOS from it and Fx152 did not have a follow-up note to indicate that Profile Backup was shipping to macOS users now also, so there's no action required at this time from that perspective. When we do eventually re-enable for macOS, we should probably call that out, however.
