Rule 1

[Edvard Wendelin]

First of all, congratulations to all of you who have worked on getting the os x port forward ported to 8! 

I'd say we should start enforcing that fixes gets pushed to 8 first as soon as possible. Otherwise we will build up a list of forward ports pretty quickly. At this point in time I would imagine that the cost of pushing to 8 first isn't that large? The code (with regards to the os x) hasn't diverged much, I assume?
