Herbert,

you are still not making the case for why we are keeping it. In fact,
you are doing quite the opposite!

The wiki[0] appears to no longer tell you to use sync-all when
obtaining sources, however, it seems sync-all is still to be used when
making local clones -- why?

The sync-all entry[1] on the wiki says that "you normally don't need
it anymore". What does this mean? What abnormal situations are there
where we need to use it?
