Is anyone still using rdist?

I am trying to migrate from 44bsd-rdist to net/rdist6 and have a
problem. Take an example Distfile like this:

====================================================
HOSTS = ( root at ftp root at proxy)
FILES = ( /etc/periodic.conf.local /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc )

configs:
${FILES} -> ${HOSTS}

vcs:
src/configs/complete.tcsh :: /etc/complete.tcsh notify sudakov at sibptus.ru;
====================================================

I expect sudakov at sibptus.ru to receive a notification only if
src/configs/complete.tcsh is newer than /etc/complete.tcsh. 

In reality, sudakov at sibptus.ru receives all the crap about updating
different hosts every time rdist6 is run. 

What am I doing wrong? I think 44bsd-rdist did not spam me like that.
Something must have changed in the logic, but what?
