so knowing that it's different shouldn't really cause headaches. Why
handcuff the UI of the Controller to the limitations of earlier
architecture and the original (arbitrary) choice of push or pull?
New-and-improved is not compatible with just-like-before. To make
things better, they have to be made different. The pre-7.3 sync menu
for the Controller worked well and was simple, quick, and elegant; an
entire sync group could be set up from one screen with minimal
navigation. The new way takes much more time and effort. That's the
headache, and yes, it is foolish. Ralph would be appalled.
