Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:9 gk]:
 > Just that I understand the patch correctly: The idea is not to get rid
 of Sync access entirely but to hide it even further basically on OS X
 systems, right? I doubt the casual user will ever run into this issue on
 Linux or Windows as there is no menu bar active by default (and I am
 assuming they don't try to get lost in the preferences maze either).

 I think that the top level preferences category is a potential "tripping
 point" for users.

 > Assuming I am right with my understanding against what kind of problem
 does this "hide Sync access one level deeper in the browser" protect?
 Looking at the requests that get issued after clicking on the Sync link
 (by accident, maybe?) there are no machine/user identifiable information
 sent back to Mozilla (at least before you start the setup process) and the
 etag should be no issue if you click just once per seesion on the menu
 item.

 OK.  Maybe we should mark this ticket "wontfix" then?  I would feel better
 if Sync was hidden until someone has audited the code, but it sounds like
 you have done enough that you are not too worried.
