+# Once this feature is enabled, Synapse will look for registered users without an
+# expiration date at startup and will add one to every account it found using the
+# current settings at that time.
+# This means that, if a validity period is set, and Synapse is restarted (it will
+# then derive an expiration date from the current validity period), and some time
+# after that the validity period changes and Synapse is restarted, the users'
+# expiration dates won't be updated unless their account is manually renewed.
