Well of course not, and that is not what this question is about. ;-) 
You certainly don't want to sync your email account password either, nor
your mothers maiden name. ;-)

I get the secret key part.  Are you saying to forget about syncing
public keys (from other's emails) and just let each client download
those from a public keyserver? If so, I may be over thinking the need to
sync GnuPG between devices.  Hmmmm.

I'm the one who brought that up, as an example, because someone (you?)
was saying to copy files around from box to box.  I mentioned IMAP as an
alternative to copying email files/folders, and that I was looking for a
similar technique for GnuPG.
