+Title: Syncthing 1.2.0 and newer do not interoperate with 0.14.45 and older

+Starting with version 1.2.0, Syncthing always uses large, variable-sized,
+blocks to index and transfer files larger than 256 MiB [1]. Syncthing
+version 0.14.45 and older will initially appear to accept files scanned
+with large blocks, but will later panic during some internal file
+operations. Do NOT enable large blocks in clusters with devices still
+on v0.14.45 or older, e.g. Debian Stretch servers using official packages.

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).
