I think we can give Sync Rep until the 15th, given the pace of work on
it.  It is a major feature, and a complicated one.

We could even cut a pre-synch-rep Alpha4 *now*, and follow that with a
post-synch-rep Alpha5 sometime around April 1.

That'll put us in a good position for beta, and also to see what
specific issue SynR adds.
