The acls & xattrs diffs were never needed for any released rsync, but some distros may want to keep applying their own version of the patches if they think they have pre-3.0.0 rsyncs hanging around that have pre-release xattrs/acls support (so after 12 years I'll let them deal with any remaining effects of their distributing pre-release patches). I'll probably be removing some more patches soon as I weed through them. One example of something that will probably go away is the source-filter_dest-filter.diff -- it's marked as being very dangerous and thus never something that would go in an official release (so it would be horrible if someone ignored the cautions and distributed an rsync with that applied).
