it was not what was intended originally (the domains were supposed to be
completely independent beasts), however I can see that this is confusing
and even undesired, so I am ok with the change.
Ideally we get a way to have an async domain opt out of the global sync,
but until I get an actual user of that into mainline, don't worry about it.
