Log:
  handbook: stop comparing rsync to rcp
  
  Users are more likely to be familiar with rsync, we no longer have rcp,
  and the comparison didn't provide much value in the first place.

     <title>Using <application>rsync</application></title>
 
     <para>These sites make &os; available through the rsync
-      protocol.  The <application>rsync</application> utility works in
-      much the same way as the &man.rcp.1; command, but has more
-      options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol which
-      transfers only the differences between two sets of files, thus
-      greatly speeding up the synchronization over the network.  This
-      is most useful for mirror sites of the &os;
+      protocol.  The <application>rsync</application> utility
+      transfers only the differences between two sets of files.
+      This is useful for mirror sites of the &os;
       <acronym>FTP</acronym> server.  The
       <application>rsync</application> suite is available for many
       operating systems, on &os;, see the <package>net/rsync</package>
