Indeed, this is the result I found this morning as well.  Losing rsync
functionality causes significant breakage in our automated deployment
system.

In addition, I have a question about how the registry bit works.  Does
this require that each of our servers be downloading directly from you
or are we still able to have an intermediary place for doing a mirror so
we can maintain our own binary repository as we currently do?  As long
as the registry is only sending you information on what is installed
with what options and it works with 2.3 (since we're still on that and
won't be moving to the latest release still for another few months),
then we can proceed.  Otherwise, I'm afraid that the registry will break
how we are maintaining our binary repository and I will now have to go
back and do significant re-working.  That wouldn't be too good.  Please
advise.  Thanks.
