Which is fine with me, too.  I just want to see the X-Spam-Status header
make sense.  I wouldn't have a problem with rounding 4.999 to 5, but really
our scores are significant to at least one decimal place, and it doesn't
make sense to be rounding a result of 4.55 or even 4.95 up to 5 (though to
be pedantic, you can't round 4.99999 _down_ to 4.9 - that's truncation
-)  ).
