The JI project is for incidents, this one should not have been marked as 
a dup of that. I've re-opened the issue so it's clearer now.

There isn't anything to test, it just hasn't bubbled up to the top of 
anyone's list. We definitely need to get to it at some point as isn't 
good for the OS X port to be using the polling implementation.
