What difference does it make what rsync command *I* am using?

The --delete option I suggested to use is for syncing the master of
downloads.fedoralagacy.org against downloads.fedora.redhat.org to get
rid of the obsoleted 2.5GB, this hasn't anything to do with the rsync
process master to mirrors (although these should have --delete anyway,
but that's off-topic).

Anyway, I'm now excluding these 2.5GB from downloading while praying
that my rsync scripts are still catching fedora legacy content.
