Okay.

Too bad that the time on my (and other people's) PDA is very
flakey. It is constantly in the year 2021, every time I reboot (I
have a dual boot setup which is not too stable). :/

Some "this has changed since last sync" info would certainly be good
for cases like mine, but I haven't really thought it through.
