More if you count the modules and the commandline tools.
I just had the crazy idea that I could keep rules in one

Well -- you could if you wanted to, but then you have to do
some work to deal
with it. You can't expect a tool which works one way to do
something else without doing anything.
You could, if you set the updates directory to
/usr/share/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates or something like that to keep
it in an updates folder under your site config... I'm not exactly sure
what the thinking was in moving the updates to /var/lib instead of
keeping them with /usr/share with the original rules. I wonder why
sa-update doesn't just create a version folder under /share/spamassassin
and use that... Certainly would be less to keep track of and purge when
you install a new version.

I opened a bug for this, #5036 with a severity of minor. Only because
sa-update offers to allow a different install path for updates and
provides a flag to do so. I don't think it needs fixed, but a warning
that I was acting like a luser using my site rules dir would have been nice.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
