to be precise... support for pyxattr and pylibacl are in the

direction we can guilt him into taking a look at the 0.13.4
rdiff-backup release and seeing how good the xattr support is.
Testing beta backup software. My favorite thing to do :)
Seriously though, while that is good news, I think we still need a good
archiver. For example, I'd like to be able to encrypt my backups and
drop them onto untrusted media. Or even just back up to a filesystem
without xattr or SELinux support. You can't do that with rdiff-backup.
