Yes, I could not agree more. This should be the default behaviour, especially
if it can shorten the total time required to sync two disparate file systems.

I agree that it is more efficient. Having this capability is very nice.
Users who expect --delete to act before file transfers and want it that
way to minimize the chance of rsync filling up the disk might be very
surprised at this new behavior.
A change in default behavior (when it's not a security fix) can be
upsetting to those who depend upon it.
But if nobody on this list sees any problem with that, then go for it.
