According to the MS documentation Sync Framework Toolkit (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Sync-Framework-Toolkit-4dc10f0e) is a legacy open source product which MS no longer support:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839436(v=sql.110).aspx
That's fine, but how about Microsoft Sync SDK which is not open source? Does it mean that open source part useless because server part can be removed by MS in the future?
The question is does it mean that Sync Framework SDK (Server side library) is dead? (Green Part)
回答1:
Microsoft has stopped supporting Sync Framework. We'd a ticket opened with MS for one of the framework issue, and got to know from MS that the team which has originally developed the framework is disbursed and there is no support available.

You can always download the SDK and keep a copy, so I don't see a problem on the "Microsoft removing it" question.

In my opinion, yes. It is only a matter of time before the software won't work with an updated version of windows (last update to the SDK was August 2010). Once that happens or you discover a critical bug, you are stuck.
