In general that approach is fine, I wasn't expecting anything else. It's
just that I'd like to warn users and whenever possible, give them the
choice of going back. That increases the number of people who can try
out an experimental snapshot, because they can try something and then
fall back to the stable version more easily.

Given that these two changes are fairly intrusive, I think I'll pass for
SyncEvolution 1.1. Instead I'll release with some specific fixes
backported, and then combine the libsynthesis update with some other
non-backward compatible changes in SyncEvolution itself.
