Advantage over sa-update? Other than the issue with 3.1.6 (only),
there shouldn't be any issues with how sa-update lints rules.
This is not obvious as there is no mention of linting in the docs
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/doc/sa-update.html
This isn't aimed at you in particular, but why does it seem that a
really large number of people assume that sa-update isn't going to work
correctly, or well, by default? Is it their past experience with the
quality of SpamAssassin or other open source software?
If so is there a migration guide somewhere on moving from RDJ to
sa-update?
- remove existing SARE rules from wherever you've got them
- decide on which provider of the SARE channel(s) you're going to use
- follow that providers directions
And while there is good information on using sa-update for SARE rules,
there don't appear to be any references on how-to migrate to it from RDJ.
Is a migration document really necessary? Stop using the rule files you
got via RDJ that you now want to get with sa-update. Start using
sa-update for those rule files. Have some lunch.
The only other thing (AFAIK) that would hold someone from moving is that
RDJ still covers some rule sets that are not available via sa-update.

antidrug.cf isn't being updated ever again and it's not for use with SA
3.x or later (which excludes it's usefulness with sa-update).
I haven't talked to Bill Stearns about him publishing channels for his
rulesets or having me provide channels for him. Unlike the next ruleset
though, no one has asked me to do so.
There is a channel setup for Michael Monnerie's 70_zmi_german.cf
ruleset. He just wants to play around with it first to see how it all
works before making it public.
