Because of this issue, I cannot test projects that rely on the installation of third-party kexts on macOS 10.13 or later, _even if_ they have been properly signed. [I’m trying to use Tunnelblick’s build of `tuntaposx`](https://sourceforge.net/p/tuntaposx/bugs/28/#ac64), which has been properly notarised for compatibility with macOS 10.14.5 and later.

The only way around this seems to be to use `osx_image: xcode9.2` (which uses macOS 10.12), but this has much older system packages.

I understand it being the default (software that requires third-party kexts should be in the minority), but with no way to switch this off, it makes it impossible to use Travis CI to test user-space networking tools on macOS.

Bump…

It’s still affecting builds loading kernel extensions [such as osxfuse](https://travis-ci.org/trinitronx/homebrew-truecrypt/builds/602665530#L2688-L2689), and a couple other cases where SIP prevents builds from completing on newer versions of OSX + XCode VMs.
