I don't trust syncthing-fork anymore.

1. App ID changed with version 2.x, seemingly for no reason.

2. catfriend1, the original maintainer has disappeared with no public announcement.

3. Apparently the Play signing keys were transferred to a Github user with a 5 day old account.

4. The old repo does redirect to this new user's repo.

It could be benign and another case of FOSS devs "moving on," quietly. But my paranoia prevails.

Addendum: I will gladly overreact for an app that has the sacred "Access All Files" permission.
