Nah.   The idea is that rules where users can conceivably configure
SpamAssassin to induce FNs or FPs should be ignored for purposes of
auto-learning;  we've seen *many* cases where an accidental whitelisting
of spam (for example) "polluted" the Bayes db.   This was put in place to
avoid that problem.
