Do you think it is necessary for rsync to have to have bandwidth
control at all?  It seems this should be someone else's
responsibility.  For instance, if rsync is run over a pipe, something
like cstream or throttle could be used (I don't know if these are
really suitable, but there's no reason a separate utility couldn't do
it).  Even for the daemon, maybe it could be run over some bandwidth
limiting proxy or something, if the OS couldn't limit the bandwidth
directly.
