The problem is that some people have hardcoded services= (if they use
the default, since months ago, which is commented out, they'll get the
default list of services). They need to remove fproxy and nodeinfo, and
add mainport. They also need to add mainport.bindAddress,
mainport.allowedHosts and mainport.port, in some cases. But it's not
hard.
