I've certainly considered it.  My main hesitation is not wanting to
adversely effect existing rsync users.  I haven't currently decided that
I want to do this.

One alternative to my making this change for everyone would be for the
user to add a popt alias to their ~/.popt file, like this one:

    rsync alias -a -aH

This turns on -H when the user uses -a.  Then, the user could use (in
2.6.7) "-a --no-H" to selectively turn this off.
