Make that EXPLICIT somewhere and don't run (or behave as usual
and warn in BIG LETTERS), if this question is not decided.

For people, who are basically using coldsync for backup, the
answer is different then for people who sync their corporate
data into their PDA.

That's why on windows you decide, which one is more important for
you. Both is not an option there AFAIR ;-)

Not syncing categories at all, because it MIGHT by dangerous is
not a Unix-like solution, because it forces policy on user AND
admin.
