If the "was synchronized" notifications could be disabled, it'd be much 
more reasonable I feel.
But that does not seem to be an option, it's all or nothing.

I do see the issue that splitting the existing developer base off though.
So without this, people might get left behind, so it should be left on 
until at least a significant portion of developers have signed up and 
gotten added to the Team.

I have not received a single request to be added yet.
