I strongly agree, we should try to move towards using the FxA device
list as the canonical version. Frankly I'd like to see the sync
"clients" collection disappear entirely, but that's probably a long ways
away.

TBH I'm not sure what the next steps are to move this forward. Could we
e.g. gather some telemetry from clients on how frequently there are
discrepancies between the two lists?

Let's drill down into this a little. Are you seeing a discrepency
between the FxA device list and the send-tab device list on your current
setup? If so then that's a great place to start, let's file it as a bug
in bugzilla for further discussion.
Cheers,
Ryan
