FYI, the IUS rsync31u package is going to be retired (unmaintained) in
about a month.  Upstream confirmed that there will never be another
3.1.x release.

If there is still value in providing a newer rsync package for EL7 in
IUS, I'd recommend requesting an rsync3 package (now that we know that
upstream doesn't maintain old minor versions) on the wishlist.
