We'll happily consider patches that polyfill 10.14+ APIs such as
Network.IPAddress, Network.NWPathMonitor, and
AppKit.NSApplication.effectiveAppearance, especially if you can do it
in a minimally intrusive self-contained way. IPAddress should be
trivial. effectiveAppearance you can just ifdef out. NWPathMonitor
you'll need to reimplement probably using an AF_ROUTE socket as
backend, or perhaps you'll find a better API. It shouldn't be overly
onerous to do. If you need help implementing it, don't hesitate to
ping me on IRC and I can help steer you in the right direction.

Jason
