Personally, I do not think the tree is the place for anything besides
that which relates to the tree. I really do not think users would
appreciate there sync being burdoned by "Developer x broke his toe
this week" ; "developer y is going to italy" ; "We recently recieved 3
new mirrors" and have all this shown on their screen.
This feature should only be used for things that are directly related
to the tree, and will cause mass breakage if ignored.
