 the text below. Please 
 let me know if this draft is useful:

 can we explain what mDNS is - or link to somewhere that does. i have 
 tried and failed to understand what it's purpose is before, without 
 success. 
  
 > Users relying on mDNS who are not already using Avahi 
  
 this bit is a bit confusing as it starts talking about one package and 
 then mentions avahi which is a different package. I suggest: 
  
  
 In trixie, systemd-resolved no longer enables mDNS support by default 
 to prevent conflicts with the avahi. mDNS is [xxxx] 
  
 To continue using systemd-resolved's mDNS support you can run the 
 following as root: 
  
        mkdir -p /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ 
        touch /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/00-disable-mdns.conf 
  
 It is recommended to do this before upgrading to ensure your system 
 remains reachable.
