os.name will be "macOS"? (was Re: RFR 9 : 8160370 : System.getProperty("os.version") returns "Unknown" on Mac)

[Wang Weijun]

I have an off-topic question:

Will os.name be macOS for 10.12? I have several places checking "if (!osname.contains("OS X"))", is there a helper method I can check for this in the future no matter if it's running on pre- or post-10.12?

Thanks
Max
