 ##### Note about zeroconf
-As of v1.2.0, the build attempts to download and install/package zeroconf to the warpinator install dir (or package). To disable this and have warpinator use the system's version, set the 'bundle-zeroconf' build option to false:
+We've started bundling certain dependencies due to their tendency to break and/or exhibit different behavior on different distributions.
+To disable this, you can do something like:
 ```
 meson builddir --prefix=/usr -Dbundle-zeroconf=false
 ninja -C builddir
