We move forward with Chris' plan [1] with the following
amendments/clarification:
1) We support old-sync-signin for existing users (i.e. "let 'em be") in
29+, yes. But we do not allow for old-sync-account-creation in 29+. [2]
This means that users who run their own Sync servers will have to jump
through hoops to allow Fx 29 users to create accounts with them.
I imagine enterprise clients are back on Fx 24, so that this only
impacts "personal" Sync servers. But rfkelly, toby, and mmayo are in a
better position to judge how harsh this is for personal Sync runners.
If we do support custom servers, the engineering effort to make creating
an account require a custom server entry is not huge. However, since
our documentation may lag it'd be better to just make it really hard to
get to that screen at all. (In the same way that we're going to make it
hard to get to "I have a legacy sync account".)
