Hello,

I am running Vapor 4 on macOS 11.6.4 and the deployment target for the Vapor projects default to 12.0. Is it possible to change the target to 11.6.4 or will I need to upgrade my OS?

@ericjenkinson see [Updating Vapor's Template To Use async/await | The Vapor Blog](https://blog.vapor.codes/posts/updating-template-to-async-await/)

That has the command you can use to get a new project that compiles on old OSes
