Richard does raise some other points not covered in bug 1419505. I just
opened bug 1435917 (blocking bug 1415385) for this.
Thanks,
Mark

As we briefly discussed some months ago, this will cause Sync
devices to collide: you'll have two profiles that both believe
they're FxA device 12345 and Sync client abcdef.
Avoiding this should be possible by allocating a new Sync client ID,
forcing the clients collection to need a sync (lastSync = 0), and
doing something similar with FxA device registration. This could
potentially require the user to re-enter their FxA password, but I'm
not sure.
Dropping fx-data-dev, CCing FxA and Sync to discuss.

A new feature we are targetting for Firefox 60 involves giving
each release channel a separate profile by default. In order to
push users into this situation on upgrade non-release channels
will make a clone of the release profile for use going forwards.
Currently this is a complete copy of all files and settings from
the release profile which raises a couple of immediate potential
issues:
The value of toolkit.telemetry.cachedClientID will be shared
across potentially many profiles. I could probably regenerate
this for each cloned profile if there is a procedure for doing this.
Any unsent pings will be cloned and so may be sent as
duplications. The only way to avoid this would be to not clone
the ping but that might mean that those pings are never sent.
I'm not sure which is preferable.
Any other issues I'm not considering?
