 The optional -N flag is used to specify the path for the [netman](https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/netman-release) stub file.
 Netman requires Garden-runC, therefore the -g flag must also be set.
 
+##### **Experimental** -B Opt out of deprecated CC bridge components
+
+The optional flag -B will disable deprecated CC bridge components. At the
+moment those components are NSync and Stager. Those components are now part of
+the Cloud Controller. Keep in mind that in order to use this flag and still
+have CF working properly you will need to first enable this feature in
+cf-release via Cloud Controller properties.
