That definitely doesn't. At minimum a dialog is necessary for the conflicting setup case. Keep in mind that one desktop and one mobile don't conflict and that a new Firefox install don't conflict either, so the number of users that actually run into this case is already pretty low. If we throw a dialog and exclude those users from sync for version 1 (because they said no), we still make sync available to probably 95%+ of our users. Current sync is available to 3% of our users or so, because the experience is too crappy for everyone else. So a simplified setup flow is still a big win, and we can improve from there.
