Now in 12, Pro Tools just completely deletes the tracks from your session before it actually opens up! WTF?!?!?!
What I really want to know, is who thought that was a good idea? And I sure hope they aren't employed anymore.

The behavior didn't change in 12, it's the same as previous versions.
The dialog is a little different in 12 than 11 & earlier... it states "This project exceeds the supported track count. The following tracks will be deleted." and it displays the track names whereas in 11, 10, etc. it states "Some tracks were dropped because the maximum number of disk tracks was exceeded." without displaying the track names (you'd have to save a report to see them).
What version were you using previously?
