This means a client might clear itself before realizing remoteSetup would have prevented the sync.

This isn't awesome, but the fix is doesn't seem low-risk, and we haven't had many (any?) problems yet, so moving to 1.1.

Check remoteSetup first to determine if we're okay to sync before wiping client/remote. Additionally only wipe enabled engines instead of everything.
