And, if I understand this correctly, you can always put the current versions on all boxes, remove the archives and run a sync.

Removing the GUI would be a real nuisance though. What does Claude AI say about this? :-)-O

You should, however, be sure that every sync (pair of replicas, via<br />

<br />
Of course there could be; there is always the possibility that things<br />
are not as we think.<br />
<br />
There is no expectation of trouble in updating from 2.53.8 or 2.53.0 to<br />
2.54.0.<br />
