And you're doing a typically manual process for updating all the systems -
update your server first, then any rsync clients. Fine& dandy if that is your
process - but it's not mine. I may update my laptop twice as often as the other
two, especially if I want to play with some software or try something out, or
fix a bug, or get a later version of KDE. The server gets updated may be once a
month, while the laptop is either once a month or at whim when I want something
that just came out.
It's not harder to do it this way, just a different method. The original rsync
script worked perfectly fine; the broken update I did when I lost it is what
started this whole thread.

Again, maybe I am missing something but it doesn't really matter how
often you update. Some people sync their main server and test packages,
upgrade some stuff figure out a few workarounds then later on sync the
other machines against the main server. The portage tree may be days
old on the main server by that time but at least you know what you are
up against if you are updating a LOT of systems.
As you say tho, different strokes.
