Warning about Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

I posted the following on the Adobe Audition blog this afternoon

Attention Mac users:

We recommend users refrain from upgrading to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) at this time.  Due to changes in application signing, users report crashing with many plugins and native effects.  Additionally, there are many audio devices that will not function without updated drivers, and support has been dropped for many legacy devices by their manufacturers.  Users may also not see the splash screen on launch.

As with most OS upgrades, you may wish to abstain from updating until your applications are confirmed to work correctly, or after any ongoing projects are complete.

MacRumors forums have been maintaining a list of additional software that may not function under El Capitan without developer updates at http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/os-x-el-capitan-working-not-working-apps.1890772/

    Why aren't you guys fixing the problems instead of pointing the finger?

    Why aren't you asking Apple exactly this question?

    Photoshop works on my MacBook Pro after installing El Capitan, but not on my iMac with El Cap. I installed El Cap on both machines the same day. I don't understand that. Looking forward to a fix, and SOON!

    For what it's worth, I uninstalled all the Creative Suite apps and reinstalled, and they seem to be working fine on my iMac running El Cap now. Still weird that I never had any issues on my MacBook Pro.

    Why aren't you posting these updates in a easy to find central location for all of your apps? This is so disorganized and tedious. If there is such a place could you point me in that direction? Most of us use more than one app. Thanks.
