Maybe this will never affect a stable user but I did find it a tad confusing at first. The message I got after update was that my syncing capability required an upgrade to my contacts (no mention if I had to do it or the system would do it), during that time, all my contacts were local. After 3 or 4 days I got a message saying that the upgrade was complete and all my contacts referenced the remote endpoint, so great! If this will only ever hit people running .*-proposed then it is all fine, if not, maybe some improvements on the dialogues would make the experience excellent (my personal thought).
