 === Other Proposals ===
+Another idea tossed around was to use the paging mechanism provided by the server, so requests would look like ?limit=100 and then ?limit=100&offset=100. However, this approach would need to correctly handle cases where items were added or removed from previous "pages".
+A number of complicated heuristics were discussed to detect mismatched page positions and then refetch previous pages, but they didn't guarantee that no holes would be missed. So an additional pass would be required to make sure no items were missed after "finishing" the initial sync.
