Hello, first of all, thank you for this excellent tool.
Just curious on why rsync is uninstalled. I ave not seen any reasoning about this or any other packages. Do you have a link where I can learn more about it?
Thank you

Hi @zigotica and thank you.

There's no issues with the rsync client per se (you can tunnel it over SSH), the issue is with rsync --daemon which is bundled.

See e.g
