Thanks for the response Kris,

I ask because none of the conflict resolution docs recommend this solution.
See: https://developer.android.com/training/cloudsave/conflict-res.html
I'm also concerned that if it doesn't meet their quality guidelines, then
it would not be considered for featuring.
Maybe I'm being paranoid =] but then again, maybe i'm not
