Still technically possible, but it will not be eventually. We're
working on completing the migration "old Sync" users to "new Sync"
(bug 1014406), scheduled to occur in the Firefox 37 cycle, and then we
will eventually remove the "old Sync" support code in the client.
Indeed, "revert to sync1.1" is going to be less and less of an option.
IIUC we've deliberately structured the key management so that you could
"slot in" a different key than the account-password-derived kB, and it
would not be major surgery to the surrounding code.
That's why I suggest the possibility of trying a "secondary encryption
pass-phrase add-on" as a first step for anyone interested in
re-exploring this ground in the new system.

This isn't as easy as self-hosting Sync 1.1, but that's because the overall

I do seem to remember that in the early plans for FxA, there was to be
a mode where knowledgeable users could revert back to the old Sync
model, by circumventing the password -> key derivation, and instead
doing pairing. Has that fallen off the radar/planning?
