However, that's just one reason why someone might want to run two versions of macOS on a single Mac, and I was hoping to start a discussion on options, pros and cons.
Well, certainly you can do it, but you would need a pretty beefy machine to avoid resource issues. Dual booting has been around on the mac for quite a few years. Most people used it to boot between the mac and windows simulators. I did it when I first switched to macs. As I remember, the biggest issue was setting up the partitions correctly.

Apparently, you can also make an external disk, such as a external hard disk or even a thumbnail, bootable and dual boot that way. That might be a better choice for what you are talking about. That way you don't have to worry about partitioning. Hum, I might try that, though I think that I would want to use a larger external drive for my purposes. Still it might be an interesting experiment.
