Hi Christophe, The current best thinking wrt to Sync as a product is that it will be scoped to time/space-shifting the state of Firefox (desktop, Android, OS) from one Firefox instance to another by way of the Firefox Account service. Sync scoped as such is of critical importance to Mozilla and all efforts are focussed on delivering Sync to market.
While it is fun to imagine services that leverage the Firefox Account's identity, authentication and storage services (e.g., storing contacts in a Firefox Account), we are and will remain weapons-grade focussed on the stories of this iteration until completion as Sync is strategically pivotal to our Foxen family market approach. That said, defining the next set of stories will occur after the current "MVP" set (Eric Reis, forgive us) is complete or, heaven forbid, we triage should we fail to deliver MVP in Q4.
