That depends on what you mean by "replaces".

sa-update is a generic tool that lets users download "channels" (ie: bundles
of rules/plugins) from anywhere that decides to publish them (requires a
certain setup, etc.)   At the moment, the only published channel that I know
of is updates.spamassassin.org.   (all this is in
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates btw)

There's nothing stoping the SARE folks from publishing a single or a
bunch of channels and getting rid of RDJ in favor of sa-update if they
wanted to...  There are some benefits either way I suppose, and I'm biased
towards sa-update of course. :|
