I thought about this some time ago, and wonder about some gotchas in doing this: 1 - Lots of rules depends on the sa "engine" being used to work, like eval tests. 2 - Depending on the type of rules it would have to check the sa "engine" version at run time to be sure it can be used. 3 - Some tests if not preperly written or used with a "buggy" version of sa "engine", could bring sa down. 4 - For this to work out, an extra amount of qa tests would be necessary to make sure nothing would break during rule package releases. 5 - I am not sure the authors of sa (and volunteers) have enough time for doing this. This process could slow sa development. AFAI Imagine, anti-virus software companies have different teams to deal with this issues. OTOH, if all this factors doesn't really matter, I would love to start using rules from sa 2.60 in 2.55 while 2.60 still beta.
