Default Line 6 Helix Firmware update to 2.7 - with a twist

Just saw the update posted. Apparently they'e added a "Marketplace" so you can download/purchase 3rd party settings and IR's. They've also added new tuner modes (including a strobe). But what I found funny was the below. Is it April 1st??

Known Issues
*IMPORTANT: The three new tuner types only appear for those registered users who didn't complain incessantly about Helix's previous tuner on social media. For those who did complain (AND WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE), the new tuner will be unlocked once you perform ONE of the following:

Post a photo of yourself on the Helix Facebook Group with the "><" logo written on your forehead in black Sharpie (washable magic marker is acceptable). The admins have been given the authority to unlock units with flagged serial numbers; assuming business hours, please allow 1-2 hours for the new tuner page to be unlocked (NOTE: You may have to restart Helix/HX for the new tuner page to appear)

Post a meme of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Kindergarten Cop yelling "IT'S NOT A TUNAAHH!" on either the Line 6 Helix—or—The Gear Page > Digital and Modeling Gear forum. Be sure to use the proper Impact font. Memes will not be judged for their artistic merit, although the spelling must be correct. Again, admins have been given the authority to unlock units with flagged serial numbers

If you'd prefer to participate silently, you may instead manually rename 47 presets "Patience is Key" (NOTE: Will not work from HX Edit; nor can you just copy one "Patience is Key" preset into 46 additional locations. You must manually rename each one. Once all 47 presets have been named correctly, the inspector [or FS5 on HX Effects] will read "Tuners unlocked!")

There have been so many complaints about the jumpiness of the tuner that it's become a joke. The new tuners are much improved.

Anyone else having a problem with HX Edit 2.7 with Helix firmware 2.7 - specifically with naming effects assigned to foot switches? I can longer do it, won't let me type. I'm on MacOS Mojave 10.14
