I checked again and the biggest issue on the server, not being able to
update individual events in a meeting series, is now fixed. The
remaining issues are lack of support for removing individual events from
such a series (one can only remove the entire series, removing some has
no effect) and all-day recurrence exceptions (RECURRENCE-ID gets mangled
- this case should be rare in practice).

The removal issue does not affect "refresh-from-local" syncs, only
two-way syncs where individual items were removed. So again, this should
not be an issue in practice.

Overall it seems that Google CaldDAV now can also be used in two-way
mode.

I forgot to check this earlier and ask Google. The calendar team is
active in StackOverflow, so I have asked there:
