I'm with you on this, I think that data is 99% of what is important and the rest can be recreated or improvised and if in your system you rely too much on file metadata your need more engineering

Except sometimes it's a 3rd party's app whose data you have to restore, and you don't have control over their engineers.


If that information drives operational processes then you can argue it is data, not metadata.


The output of the command the OP mentions

  $ /usr/bin/rsync –version
...doesn't return anything referencing openrsync. I'm on Sequoia 15.3.1.


The change was made in 15.4


ugh. these kind of changes should not be made in a minor release..


Is it a breaking change?


Missing sarcasm tag?
