I do not think it is stupid.
I think we need to make sure that winsync is no mixed with trusts.
IMO we should open two tickets:
a) Add a check to trust-add to see if there is a sync agreement with AD
and not try to create trust when sync agreement exists
b) Add a check to replica manage tool to prevent sync agreement creation
when there is a trust.

We might in future have to support some interim state when we define a
migration procedure which we currently do not have.
