I am not sure that there is a pressing need in synchronising between DAP
and SysApps on that matter and making sure that this happen before FPWD
doesn't seem that important given that the Contacts API will very
unlikely get frozen after FPWD.

As I see it, "Pick Contacts Intent" should have an API surface that
looks like Contacts API to keep a certain level of consistency within
the Web Platform. Actually, the dependency of "Pick Contacts Intent" on
"Contacts API" is so strong that the ideal solution would be to merge
"Pick Contacts Intent" inside  "Contacts API". However, given the
current status of Web Intent, it is probably better to keep this as a
separate work for the moment.
