I'm pretty dependent on rsync across all of my ubuntu servers. I just checked and most of my servers are on openrsync but one, built most recently, is on classic rsync. Not sure why the old servers are openrsync and the new one on classic rsync - I would expect the opposite. Anyway, on that one server: sudo apt-mark hold rsync

You rather open the server up to security issues than have software where the developer has been assisted by ai which you feel decreases the quality of the code or is it for moral reasons?

Rsync is not being vibe coded, and it’s not become slop so would love to understand the position.

The integrity of the backups seems uncertain at this point.

A backup tool that doesn't do backups properly is less useful than one with a CVE that might be exploited if the stars align.
