Description

I have an application that relies on running tests on remote devices by specifying either the socket or ssh spec. I'm trying to prepare my application for the upcoming removal of rsync by basically "disabling" the rsync feature entirely. My assumption is that this will mimic the v4.0 state of xdist after the rsync feature is removed. Is there a way with the current release of xdist to accomplish this? Not having a way to disable the deprecated features will make it difficult to prepare for the upcoming change.
