You are so right. Using unison for anything but experimenting and 
test-driving is not a good idea. It's protocol is changing all the time,
they obviously cannot keep it stable like rsync does.

When Unison finally settle on a protocol that provides some stability over 
releases, use it.

What would the world look like if say DHCP or HTTP was changed as often as 
the Unison protocol... Hm, these guys should write an RFC.
