2019-07-18-syncthing-update-incompatibility: some clarifications 1. Explicitly say not to install 1.2.0+ in legacy clusters; 2. While talking about Syncthing on Debian Stretch, make it clear that it is the distribution-provided packages which could cause problems (Syncthing upstream provides .deb packages as well).
