Could, yes.  Few more pressing things re: emerge-delta-webrsync, 
namely (order of what I'm hacking on now)

A) bzip2 v1.03 is stabled now.  MD5 compressor issue _will_ bite  
   emerge-delta-webrsync in the ass _soon_ .  Should have a version 
   bump that handles this tomorrow or friday at the latest.
B) Permenant solution needed for when snapshots upstream aren't 
   generated, as occured 04/29.  This probably will have to be 
   serverside- easiest route, otherwise have to implement version 
   jumping logic in bash, which is ugly
C) cleansing of old snapshots.  Current 'handling' of it (read: not 
   doing a damn thing) is ugly.  :)

So... re: your request, emerge-webrsync default behaviour actually is 
to sync, regardless if an update was pulled or not.  I'd rather not 
deviate from the default behaviour of emerge-webrsync, but tacking in 
support for a command opt (say -u for 'update only'?) can be slipped 
out at some point.

Thoughts?
