Make Twenty Fourteen 3.8's Default Theme

[markmcwilliams]

Seeing as 3.7 has been released, now's the chance to get Twenty Fourteen in nightly builds, etc!

Yes, please! We're getting more and more requests from people who want to test and contribute to the theme, like ​http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/10/31/twenty-fourteen-project-update-3/#comment-11102

sidebars_widgets option in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php probably needs to be updated to restore the third sidebar removed in [23529]. Related: ticket:23573:5.

Fair enough, done and done! :) See the latest patch!

Seeing as 3.8 will probably be branched like 3.7 was, can we please include this currently, then if Twenty Fourteen doesn't make it into 3.8, when the theme files are removed from the 3.8 branch, you can just remove this code also?

There's a lot of people, like @lancewillett says, who want to try it out on their nightly builds!

Just a potential thought ...

That was the consensus at the ​3.8 IRC meeting, so I guess we can.
