http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/include/extensions/syncstr.h dates it
to the initial XFree86 import of that file in 1994.   In the copies of the
X11R5 & R6 trees I have around (yes, I do have to do archaeology often enough
that I keep those around), there is no sync extension in R5, and that comment
appears in the header in the R6.0 version.

X doesn't do "temporary" well and needs more janitors to clean those out.
(I had a "Temporary hack for X11R3, remove after R4" comment in xdm pointed
 out to me this morning.)
