Not on 10.12, not on any OSX, not on anything. You cannot have 2 versions installed in parallel.

What "functionality" are you afraid of losing? And you can always revert back with no problems.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
