This part of the issue has been resolved with the addition of the
upgradelists maintenance task.  

I'm still torn about the first part of the issue, although I'm leaning
towards saying that it *is* a change in sources, so we can accept those
contacts disappearing from lists in other sources.  While writing a
maintenance task to update them would be trivial, it would either requrie a
new pref to be added any time a source is switched or a hard coded check
for some sort of configuration flag that would have to be checked EVERY
login.  Seeing how these 'foreign contacts` were not even working properly
in 2.1.4 (or maybe earlier), I say just document this somewhere...thoughts?
