Thanks Strom.
Do you know if it's ok to uninstall the Max 7.3.4 version now?

I'm not sure why it wouldn't, but if for a re-installation why not? As usual, make sure you got backups of everything externally.

So much for a root-less system…

An important quote:

"In case Sierra users are concerned that this might affect older macOS, I have tried it on Sierra 10.12.6, and it definitely doesn’t work there: the behaviour of the authentication dialog is quite different, responding slowly and shaking each time. Phew!"

Big hand to Steko too! I appreciate your sharing.

Do you know if upgrading to High Sierra will improve the macOS speed and efficiency?
Or do we only get new features?

The default installation of High Sierra will convert your disk format to APFS instead of MacOS Journaled. If you're using an internal SSD, the difference in speed when copying files is HUGE. I can copy 2-3GB files in seconds, if not instantly.

That's good news! Thanks Erik.
I'll upgrade then.
