   The 'delete' option CAN be VERY useful for managing
   company-scale backups. If it disappears or is moved
   in the source dir then it's deleted in the dest dir.
   This is very good for keeping Old Crap from building
   up until it takes over the universe.

   There IS a danger though - if for some reason the source
   dir gets unmounted/etc then rsync will assume you removed
   *everything* ... and will dutifully delete ALL of your
   backups. Had to add some extra IQ, a bullshit test, to
   some backup pgms I wrote just to deal with that. If
   the source dir was suddenly under half its old size
   then you DID NOT run rsync delete, but instead flagged
   the user to look at what's going on there.
