Does `CfUpdateSyncProviderStatus` do anything? (cfapi)

The function, CfUpdateSyncProviderStatus, could be set to a status defined in CF_SYNC_PROVIDER_STATUS, but what does this actually do? How does the user view the sync provider status? Does it update any icons or properties of anything? The sync provider status is queryable via CfQuerySyncProviderStatus and accessible from CF_SYNC_ROOT_STANDARD_INFO, but is the only purpose of setting a sync status is so that you could query it later?

I tested it out myself and I cannot find any indication of a sync status, any ideas?
