Apple Seeds Fifth macOS Sierra 10.12.2 Beta to Developers and Public Beta Testers

I compared the processes in activity monitor with 10.12.1 and almost every process in the beta is using a little more memory.
The update will only be worth it if this bug is fixed. I experience it with 3 Macs - need to manually log onto servers whenever I boot up. Any beta testers checking if this is fixed?
Apple should partner with Toys "R" Us and deliver the new Touch Bar MacBook with pink, red, green, yellow colors. Of course with a demo how great the Touch Bar is to scroll through thousands of Emoji icons.
One of the things I like about macOS maintenance updates, unlike Windows 10, I don't have to Update & Pray.
Do any adults actually use emojis? I for one, have never used one ever. Seems like every update is the same thing.... MORE EMOJIS!!!!! Enough already.
This could be due to the beta using debug build of some user land processes.
The sample user base of 16 year old kids they call power users demands more emoji
I see the time remaining on the battery is still gone. Annoying.
I really can't see the benefit in the effort going into these emoji updates, but there must be some pull for this, right?
I'm 38. My wife and I use emoji.
If you don't like them, don't use them. It's as simple as that. Personally, I'd say people who are outraged by the presence of emoji in their OS are less mature than people who use emoji.
I am not outraged by them, but I find it outrageous that Apple would devote an update to simply adding more of them. How about some really useful features? I'm sure you and your wife could get by with 100 emojis couldn't you? Do you really need more?
It would be interesting to whats the update team and listen in on them for just one day. I say Team, but for all we know its one person in a little cubicle somewhere. I really would be interested in how they determine what goes in to these point builds.
Like...I hope this addresses some of the graphics issues people have been having (or battery life issues, if that's actually a thing). But at least I can sleep easier knowing the emoji arsenal is being enriched.
Future of the MBP: no keyboard, just a giant touch bar with nothing but emojis

Show me exactly where it says emoji are the only thing in the update.
I use smiley, sad and wink in in-game chat from time to time but that's it. If anyone sent me a message full of this crap it would be binned.
