It seems to me that though the beta freeze is in effect, that it should 
be rolled back. From my perspective we have

#1 ) Roll opensync back to 0.22
#2 ) Leave opensync where it is...

in the case of #2 - we have essentially a non-working syncing system. 
Worst case for #1 is exactly the same as #2, best case for #1 - it works 
again (albeit after some potential issues). To me #1 seems like the best 
bet at the moment... Granted I say this without an indepth knowledge of 
everything building against opensync...

But as it goes between selecting a package that is known to not work, is 
not recommended for use by the developer, and a somewhat known stable 
version that has the potential to actually work. I'd choose the one with 
potential. I mean come on, who wants to have their babies eaten by this 
software? ;)
