I stumbled across this thread today and though the maintainers might like to know that people appear to be freaking out.

They broke things and basically ruined rsync via "vibecoding" and being an idiot.

And to be honest i strongly disagree. If AI is used to code, and that made is worse, then the issue is the right place to comment on that there. Discussions often get overlooked.

I agree. Discussions is more about these posts (The one by Emstar that we are currently replying to) and Issues is more for bugs and problems like that.
