Github rolled out a breaking change to Github-hosts Action Runners, that breaks `brew install`
They did not follow their own commitment of announcing a breaking change 1 month before roll out nor do they provide a way to opt out or use an older version of their image.
Moreover, their suggested fixes are incomplete or just don't work.
