This higher cost and difficulty of syncing is not a bug, it is a feature!
And this syncing is going to get more difficult still when we get country
level proxies.

Servers have no business sharing information without the user's consent, and
I therefore see not reason why sharing information in a sneaky way should be
particularly cheap or easy.  If they want to share, let them embed the info
in a link where the user can see it.
