*2022-01-10 addition:* this becomes worse as Matrix Synapse alongside [the Matrix protocol itself will authorise everything done by servers that don't honour the `m.room.server_acl` event](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/928)
so as per the guide, you will have to acl those servers too (or the ACL might as well not exist). <s>Sadly at the time
of writing that also includes <a href="https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/issues/67">Conduit, so all Conduits must be ACLed too</a>,

* 2022-02-07: Conduit implemented ACL a couple of weeks ago, [Matrix Spec version is nowadays 1.2](https://matrix.org/blog/2022/02/02/matrix-v-1-2-release), but [no Element supports knocking from room version 7 (of Matrix 1.1)](https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/43) to my knowledge.
* 2022-07-29: Conduit has had room versions 7, 8 and 9 for some time now, Matrix Spec version
has been at version 1.3 for a couple of weeks (2022-06-16), Dendrite has
supported room version 10 since around that time, Synapse has it in rc that
hopefully releases next week and Elements still don't support knocking
(from Matrix room version 7).
