Comment:

 Rereading this thread, I've worn out my neck through vigorous nodding-in-
 agreement-with-two-years-ago-me
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3335#comment:8. Given WP's
 lack of API for its profile fields, we can't even begin to talk about
 building a general sync mechanism. And a non-general one would be just as
 pointless, since WP's fields are so weird (ICQ?). The only ones that
 *might* make sense are First and Last Names, but that would be a specific
 use case, not really a general syncing platform like is being discussed
 here.

 Closing this ticket as wontfix. If there are specific requests or
 suggestions, please feel free to open new, focused tickets with details.
