The upshot of this is that the next time you sync you'll be asked to make a "server or local" choice, and lose all changes from the side you didn't choose.

I'm aware after having read this thread that there are workarounds. I'm asking you to consider that it's possible to have a model where the state of a client on my laptop does not affect the speed of the synchronization on my desktop or iPhone. Why do I have to choose between speedy backups and convenience? Can't I have both? Is this an intractable programming problem?
