perhaps, the rules above should be defined only for version >=4

The rule name change is an artifact of how the rules are
version-controlled. We have exactly one version of the rules and it
resides in the trunk of the Subversion repository.
And that one version of rules has separate definitions for SA versions
that support "feature_blocklist_welcomelist" and those that don't.
There's no excuse for providing confusing information.
What does NOT work is to conflate the change in rule names with a
change in configuration directive names. They are different things.
That's not at all clear from the "describe" text displayed for 3.*. The
OP assumed it was time to switch configuration and that's perfectly
reasonable IMO.
It would be wonderful if I could simply do something like "define whitelist_from
as welcomelist_from" and admit I am a racist as far as idiots whose opinions
about me are beneath contempt are concerned. This whole thing is falling apart
about the way I thought it would with this kind of fundamental political
correctness minded change.
