FWIW having built a sync service I can tell you that this is an issue in practice, and you have to test for these differences in any event.

My point is that for a weekend PoC that you want to use for yourself… it’s rather a non-issue. Further, you need to create a lot of primitives before you can even tackle the problem correctly, so initially, it is an unsolvable problem until you have those primitives.
