You mean - the difference will be in the moment where the non-excluded 
files get deleted ? As long as per-driectory filters are the same on 
sender and receiver, the final outcome will still be the same regardless 
of a delete algorithm used ?

Anyway - would it be allright to submit a small manpage diff, to add 
some details about difference between delete-delay and delete-after ?
