 State resolution

 .. WARNING::
-  This section documents the state resolution algorithm as implemented by
-  Synapse as of December 2017 (and therefore the de-facto Matrix protocol).
-  However, this algorithm is known to have some problems.
+   Room version 1 is known to have bugs that can cause the state of rooms to reset
+   to older versions of the room's state. For example this could mean that users
+   who had joined the room may be removed from the room, admins and moderators

+   This is fixed in the state resolution algorithm introduced in room version 2.
 
 The room state :math:`S'(E)` after an event :math:`E` is defined in terms of
 the room state :math:`S(E)` before :math:`E`, and depends on whether
