Folks, keep your warrant canary short. 1 paragraph statement of intent, date, maybe a headline, signature. That's it.

Do you suggest there is any security benefit of a short canary? Or is it just about keeping a canary simple and comprehensible even for non-technical users?

If you'd like you may provide a rebuttal for whichever you feel strongest about

You haven't provided any argument to rebut, only an assertion.

On the surface, there appears to be no actual canary-specific value to keeping the text short. If you have a specific reason you disagree, feel free to bring that argument forward.

If rsync devs cared about brevity then we might of had a decent syncing client

rsync.net and rsync the open source project aren't related, afaik/afict. At the very least, no one at rsync.net has been the maintainer or original dev of rsync. Rsync either doesnt enforce their trademark, or rsync.net has an agreement with the project.

They definitely are not related

rsync.net works well with borg, fwiw.
