Yes, I saw this message. But it did not occur to me that I was actually a
user of this module... but now checking the list of modules, it is indeed
activated.

Was the module enabled by default in the past? Or did I enable it manually
at some point?

What's the purpose of the module? Does tryton-client use the webdav
interface to accomplish something?

Can I uninstall it safely?

Yeah, maybe just explain that if the module was enabled in 3.8, then you
have to manually install the package for tryton to continue to work.
