@thomasfuchs that whole sentence is backwards.
- Beta testers said - No
- Release users said - No, rewind to previous
- Existing users said - No upgrade
- Person “having difficulty understanding something, when their salary depends upon his not understanding it!" Uptown Sinclair style - “why no upgrade traction?”

@dahukanna my hope is that they give up on it and revert to the previous design, I think they need to learn that they can’t just throw any shit at their customers and hope it sticks

@thomasfuchs @dahukanna it worked for the touch bar!
@thomasfuchs Maybe. But I also can't think of a compelling reason *to* upgrade: was there a killer feature in 26? You still can't download album booklet PDFs from the iTunes store, so why even bother upgrading?
