I'm not yet 100% sure about the specific mode names, as sync normally means
100% sync, I'll see if I find some other tool (rsync?) with similar option naming
problems. Independent from the specific names, this really needs a docs patch,
ideally with a table listing the modi as rows and having the various "user added",
"user removed", "properties added/updated", "properties removed" as columns, for a
better understanding of the effects..

you could work around this by getting the node versions from the pmxcfs node
kv store, currently only the manager version but we can do a bump with versioned
dependency there too, hopefully with a manager that has the ldap sync job (ui)
that I request since years shipped too ;-P

Not that we need to go that mechanism, we already tell everyone that a cluster
needs to be the same level of versions to work 100% correctly anyway.
