I think there's plenty of room for the larger discussion about how much we actually (ought to) trust a lot of our closed source software that runs free and non-jailed on our computers day in and day out - and recent events haven't affected that viewpoint very much in either direction. However, data synchronization software gets tougher love from everyone these days for apparent reasons.

I read the updated FAQ and saw the note about blocking network I/O for the closed source process. If the closed source process in your client were locked down in such a way that it was only ever invoked from the open source process and had no way of doing any I/O whatsoever (network or otherwise) except with the open source process (where what goes in and comes out can be audited), then I'd agree this sounds quite interesting.

I'll be waiting as well, and sincerely hope you deliver something nice!
