Comment:

 No, it is correct as written.

 Prior to two years ago, our master rsync server was hosted by macOS forge
 and was only used by MacPorts, so we had the entire rsync namespace
 available to us. We used rsync modules called release, trunk, distfiles,
 packages. We also had a macports rsync module which encompassed all four
 of the other modules.

 As of two years ago, macOS forge shut down, and our master rsync server
 moved to FAU, which added our rsync content to an existing rsync server
 already hosting other rsync modules. As such, we deprecated the formerly
 separate release, trunk, distfiles and packages rsync modules and updated
 the guide and config files to recommend using the combined macports module
 instead. The old modules are still being provided by FAU for
 compatibility, but they would like to remove those modules eventually. See
 #54056.
