I was allowing the `synced_observers` stat to distinguish between "this
follower CAN support observers, it just currently isn't" and "this follower
CANNOT support observers (and so it isn't)" by outputting a value of 0 or by
being omitted respectively.
It's a style choice. I'm not terribly attached to my current implementation
and can change it if you think outputting `synced_observers` of 0 in both cases
is more straightforward.
