/**
 * Bug 768102: Android deletes Account objects when the Authenticator that owns
 * the Account disappears. This happens when an App is installed to the SD card
 * and the SD card is un-mounted or the device is rebooted.
 * <p>
 * Bug 769745: Work around this by pickling the current Sync account data every
 * sync.
 * <p>
 * Bug 735842: Work around this by un-pickling when we check if Sync accounts
 * exist (called from Fennec).
 * <p>
 * Android just doesn't support installing Apps that define long-lived Services
 * and/or own Account types onto the SD card. The documentation says not to do
 * it. There are hordes of developers who want to do it, and have tried to
 * register for almost every "package installation changed" broadcast intent
 * that Android supports. They all explicitly state that the package that has
 * changed does *not* receive the broadcast intent, thereby preventing an App
 * from re-establishing its state.
 * <p>
 * <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html">Reference.</a>
 * <p>
 * <b>Quote</b>: Your AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter and all its sync functionality
 * will not work until external storage is remounted.
 * <p>
 * <b>Quote</b>: Your running Service will be killed and will not be restarted
 * when external storage is remounted. You can, however, register for the
 * ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE broadcast Intent, which will notify
 * your application when applications installed on external storage have become
 * available to the system again. At which time, you can restart your Service.
 * <p>
 * Problem: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8485">that intent doesn't work</a>!
