if an OS is listed as being "beta" (as this one is) then you should
expect bugs.  if you don't want to help debug the OS, don't install it.

Elektron actively work towards fixing their bugs.  they beta-test in
small circles for months before releasing updates to the public.
once doing so, they continue to update as bugs are reported.
if the bug can be recreated, you can bet your ass they'll fix it.
it's the quirky ones and the ones where people don't remember
what they did beforehand that linger.  and even in those cases,
Elektron will work with you to try to figure out just what you were
doing, in hopes of recreating and then fixing it.  they want their
OS's to be bug free just as much as we do (if not more).

this is utter bullshit, nothing else.  there's no code of silence.
and it's unfair of you to point the finger at other users who try
their best to help Elektron debug their OS's (rather than just
whining that they're not perfect).  no matter how much we love
these machines, we still spent money on them and we still write
music with them and we want them to be the best that they can.
so we report any problems that arise and try to be constructive
about it, rather than just blaming Elektron.
