cause such disruption, especially if I have to run a utility on clients to
A 8.1.2.0 server should work with older clients as long as the node is in
transitional mode (q node f=d), when they jump to strict because, for
example, a 8.1.2 (or higher) client version restored something from that
node it jumps to strict and pre 8.1.2 clients will no longer be able to
connect
